The gallery shop at Seymour Art Gallery offers unique handmade gifts by more than 60 local artists. We strongly recommend that you visit the gallery shop before you make a submission, so that you can see the space and the items we currently carry.

We are specifically looking for work which is quite different from the pieces already on display. Each of the gallery shop artists has their own unique style and therefore if your work is similar to that of an artist we already carry, it is very unlikely that your work would be selected.

Requirements:

• All work must be handmade by the artist and artists must represent their own work. 
• We do not accept submissions for consumable items. 
• We welcome applications from all BC artists. 
• While we do not have formal restrictions on the size of artworks, we must consider size when deciding what artworks we will carry due to space limitations at the Gallery. 
• Works on paper must be framed with appropriate hanging hardware. 
• If your work is accepted, it is required that you become a member of the Seymour Art Gallery Society. You do not need to be a member to apply. 
• We ask for exclusivity in Deep Cove; Gallery Shop artists may not sell at other venues on Gallant Avenue in Deep Cove. 

Winter Gift Gallery is an annual fine craft holiday market at the Seymour Art Gallery. Each year, we bring together an amazing group of local artists to inspire holiday shopping. Visitors can find unique gifts like ceramics, jewelry, paintings, textiles, and much more.
