    • Definitions 

    • Artists of Colour: The term “artist of colour” is based on the Government of Canada’s definition of “visible minorities,” which is defined as “persons, other than Aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour.”

      Deaf Artists and Artists with Disabilities: This priority group includes people who have physical, mental or learning conditions with long-term, temporary, or varying effects that may be apparent or not.

      Indigenous Artists: The term “Indigenous” refers to First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.

      New Generation Artists: The term “new generation” refers to a person who is 18 to 30 years of age.

      Francophone Artists: The term “Francophone” is based on the Government of Ontario’s Inclusive Definition of Francophone (IDF), which includes “persons whose mother tongue is French, plus those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English but have a particular knowledge of French as an official language and use French at home."

      2SLGBTQIAP+: The acronym "2SLGBTQIAP+" refers to individuals who self-identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual or two-spirited.

  • Admin Fee

  • We have recently updated our Membership Structure, including Program eligibility. Please note that you no longer need a Craft Professional Membership to apply for an exhibition at Craft Ontario. Non-members will need to pay a $10 Admin Fee and, if your exhibition application is successful, you will be required to purchase a Maker Membership prior to your exhibition.

    If this fee is a financial barrier, or if you have any questions, please send an email to gallery@craftontario.com.
