CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS MAY 15, 2017 DEADLINE

CVAG invites submissions for exhibition programming from artists, collectives and curators. CVAG’s contemporary gallery spaces include the south gallery, the George Sawchuk room and the window gallery (refer to our website for a digital floorplan + documentation of gallery).

Exhibitions are generally six weeks in length and include an opening reception to introduce the work to the public. Adjunct and outreach programming (artist talks, performances, workshops, panel discussions, etc.) is developed and reviewed on an individual basis. On-site adjunct and outreach programming may occur in the gallery spaces, on the street front plaza, in the community space, viewing booth or studio.

The Comox Valley Art Gallery pays CARFAC fees. Where funding permits, a portion of one-way travel/shipping, accommodation and per-diem is provided. CVAG produces printed and digital material to promote and engage audiences including invitations, media releases and didactics. All projects are documented digitally and in other media as appropriate - this source material is available to participants for their archive. Selections of documentation are housed on our website and posted to our facebook page regularly.

The Comox Valley Art Gallery provides opportunities for exhibition in all disciplines, encourages diverse public engagement, promotes awareness of contemporary art, and provides adjunct learning opportunities. The Comox Valley Art Gallery engages with regional, national and international communities to present contemporary art issues and practices.

CVAG encourages digital submissions by email or by shared Dropbox invite.
