Everyone's $50
We invite anyone and everyone to bring one piece of art to exhibit in Everyone's $50 at The Alice. Continuing an annual tradition, we will exhibit everyone’s work in a large wunderkammer-style exhibition that will run from December 2 - December 30.
Open Saturdays 12-7pm or by appointment
Pick-up days and times:
Unsold work must be picked up from the gallery on December 31 from 12-5PM, or January 1 from 10-2PM. Otherwise, artists must individually arrange pickup from our storage location in the Columbia City neighborhood. If you have sold your work, we will contact you and send you a check.

You do not have to be an "artist” to participate in this exhibition! You can bring a piece that you are really excited to show, a piece you are trying to get out of your studio, or the first thing you ever made. You can be a collective, a designer, a crafter, a carpenter, a musician, or something else entirely.
In 2015, we hung everyone's work in a salon-style exhibition. In 2016, we treated all work as three-dimensional, and exhibited it on a long table that ran the length of the entire gallery. In 2017, we are setting the prices of all artwork at $50 (plus sales tax). Sales will be split 50/50 between The Alice and the exhibitor of each sold work. It’s up to each exhibitor to decide what to sell for $50. Our goal is to offer art at an accessible price point to community collectors, while making sure artists get paid and supporting the ongoing costs of running The Alice.
Once the work is installed, Seattle-based illustrator Scott Travis will draw a map of the space so each exhibitor and artwork can be identified.
Our annual Everyone’s In series is inspired by Itsa Small, Small World, by Jayson Musson (Hennessy Youngman) an artist that had an online art video project called ART THOGHTZ. Jayson created this drop-off style exhibition as a way to address the “lack the face-to-face contact that is available with other forms of art production and exhibition.” We also give a nod to the Brucennial, a community biennial that was organized in NYC by Bruce High Quality Foundation from 2008-2014. At The Alice, we meet many artists face-to-face, and we would like to extend our welcome to more of you and to thank those of you that have supported us in our first three years.
Drop-off days and times:
November 26th, Sunday: 3-8 pm
November 27th, Monday: 6-8 pm
November 28th, Tuesday: 6-8 pm

- There is no fee to exhibit in Everyone’s $50.
- Exhibitors will receive 50% of their sales, the other 50% goes to The Alice.
- Each exhibitor may exhibit ONE piece. If your work is a multiple/edition you may sell as many instances of the work as you would like, but we can only guarantee the display of one physical item at a time. Please bring all for-sale copies of your edition to The Alice at drop-off.
- You may bring work in any format. 3D work, framed work, flat work, paintings, drawings, photographs, self-contained digital devices or audio players, textiles, books/zines, etc. are all welcome.
- Artwork will be arranged and displayed as-delivered at The Alice’s curatorial discretion - hung on wall, on the floor, on pedestals or tables, or otherwise. We will not frame or build pedestals or other display items for your work, nor can we provide display devices for digital media. Include all necessary hardware with your piece.
- The Alice is not climate-controlled. We are locked using standard, commercial door locks. Your work will not be insured while it is in possession of The Alice.
- The Alice reserves the right to reject work for any reason, including but not limited to size (too big to fit in gallery), content, or technical concerns (smell, decay, off-gassing, etc.)
- People of all ages are welcome to exhibit, but we cannot guarantee that all exhibit content will be appropriate for all ages.
- Artists are responsible for timely pickup of unsold work during the specified days/times. Unclaimed artwork may be handled at the discretion of The Alice.
