Submissions

Call for Submissions

 

As part of its mission to introduce Dawson students and community members to contemporary art, the Gallery hosts 3-4 exhibitions yearly from local professional artists.

While the gallery does provide an artist fee, it does not have a budget for the transportation of artwork, either within the city or from outside.  Artists are expected to deliver their work, and be present and active during installation.

Given its pedagogical environment and mandate, the gallery requires artists to participate in an artist talk / workshop (remunerated) and other student-centred activities.
