Exhibit Your Work

Curated Exhibit

My Canada

09 May to 05 July 2026

We invite artists and fine crafters to reflect on their Canada: the places, faces, struggles, and joys they have experienced.

The My Canada Exhibit recognizes that identity is plural, lived, and evolving — shaped through experience and grounded in the values we share.

Submissions may be representational, abstract, or conceptual in nature.

FAQs

Do I have to sign a contract?

Unless you already have a signed Artist/Gallery Cooperation Agreement in place, you will have to sign the agreement before you submit your work.The Agreement serves to protect your and the Gallery's interests. Learn more about how the gallery works.

May I show, but not offer my work for sale?

No. This exhibition is geared toward artists wanting to sell their works.

How many works may I submit?

We recommend you submit 3-5 works for consideration. A mix of larger and smaller works is recommended as our gallery is able to show more smaller works than larger.

Artists who'd like to exhibit more works should reach out to start a conversation about a future profile or solo exhibit.

May I submit my work electronically?

No. We do not accept electronic submissions.

When we curate the exhibit, we want to evaluate the actual physical qualities and presentability of each artwork. We weigh each work's potential to contribute to the exhibit in the context of all the submitted works.

And we look at the work's potential to find a buyer or collector.
