2020 Exhibition Proposals - Call for Entry
to
Alberta Craft Gallery 10186 106 St, Edmonton, Alberta T5J 1H4
Deadline for Entry: June 1, 2019 June 3, 2019
The Alberta Craft Council is calling for exhibition proposals for the 2020 line-up at the Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery. It is going to be an exciting year, as we begin programming for the Alberta Craft Council's 40th Anniversary, and Craft Year 2020 the nation-wide celebration of craft organized by the Canadian Crafts Federation and Provincial Craft Councils.
The Exhibition Team is looking for fully-developed exhibitions and themes that highlight mastery in craftsmanship, feature new work, push the boundaries of craft, and/or celebrate the achievements of our members. Our public exhibition galleries are dedicated to showcasing work by emerging, mid-career, and established craft artists. The proposals can be for individual or group shows.
The Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery strives to present innovative and dynamic exhibitions that challenge perceptions and inspire the public to discover the best in contemporary Fine Craft. This 436 sq. foot gallery is located on the main level of the Alberta Craft Council's Edmonton location and features 7 exhibitions per year, several of which travel to our Calgary Gallery. Each exhibition is accompanied by an article in the Alberta Craft Magazine, invitations, online promotion, and an opportunity for an artist talk or interactive demonstration plus reception.
