Open to all artists in British Columbia, but local drop off and pick up is required. This juried group exhibition is looking to provide exposure to new and emerging artists; therefore, eligibility is limited to artists who self-identify as emerging artists. Artwork may be individually or collaboratively produced. 

Criteria: Only original works created since January 2023 are eligible. We accept work in all media. Artists (or artistic collaborations) must submit a minimum of three and a maximum of ten pieces. Between three and five pieces per selected artist (or artistic collaboration) will be displayed. Works submitted should be from a single series or body of work as it will be displayed together. 

Eligibility: With the exception of Winter Gift Gallery and our fundraising exhibition ART PARTY!, artists cannot appear in group exhibitions more frequently than every 3 years.

Availability: Work for exhibition must be available for drop-off on Sunday, May 31, 2026 (between 11am-4pm), for exhibition from June 9 - July 18, 2026, and for pick-up on Sunday, July 19, 2026.

Presentation: Work must be suitably prepared for exhibition, ready for presentation. Wall mounted work must be appropriately framed (or have a professional look with finished sides) and must be wired for hanging. Work not properly prepared for exhibition may not be exhibited. 

Sales: Work is not required to be for sale; pieces not for sale (NFS) should be labeled as such and should include a value for insurance purposes. Seymour Art Gallery will retain 35% on all works (or orders) sold. 

Membership and Compensation: Artists do not need to be a member of Seymour Art Gallery to submit, but selected artists must become members ($25 for one-year membership). Exhibiting artists will be paid an honorarium of $470, which will include Seymour Art Gallery’s membership fee. Membership supports our non-profit gallery’s exhibitions and programs.
