Contribute Local Art

We want this site to look like Bellingham — made by the people who live here.

What We're Looking For

Illustrations, hand-drawn maps, zine-style graphics, topo sketches, block prints, ink drawings, collage — anything that captures the spirit of Bellingham and its neighborhoods. We're building a site that feels handcrafted, not corporate, and local art is what makes that real.

Pieces can be neighborhood-specific (a sketch of the Fairhaven village green, a print of Whatcom Falls) or city-wide (Bellingham Bay, the Sisters, downtown rooftops). We'll find a home for it.

What You Get

  • Attribution — your name and a link to your portfolio, shop, or social media displayed alongside your art
  • Contributors page — a dedicated page on the site listing everyone who's helped shape how it looks

How to Submit

Share a link to your work (Google Drive, Dropbox, personal site — anywhere we can view it) along with how you'd like to be credited. We'll get back to you about where it might fit on the site.

The Fine Print

You keep full ownership of your art. By submitting, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display it on this site with attribution. You can ask us to remove it anytime. We'll never sell your work or use it without credit.
