artist submissions
We love to receive submissions of recent contemporary work, we will only review submissions that have all of the information requested. Please take the time to read our guidelines below.
As with most galleries, we prefer an initial email submission as opposed to walk-in requests to review artists' work. It is hard to look at your work properly under those circumstances.
Before submitting, first take a look and familiarize yourself with what we do by going through our website, or visiting the gallery in person if you can. As a rule we like to see a coherent series of works and the majority of our clientele are seeking mid-size to large works.
Take a minute to review the work and pricing of our existing roster of artists. If you then believe your work is a good fit for Canvas, please send along a submission following all the steps below.
Send us an email - art @ canvasgallery.ca - with at least 6 images of your recent work, Include medium, size (in inches) and pricing if you have already established a price point.
We prefer if at all possible uncropped images of your work in the studio/in situ. It helps us put the work and scale into context.
Email attachments should be in JPG format and should not exceed 1.5 MB total.
We are happy to review your personal website or instagram account, but we would like to see a little more than that in your initial submission.
In addition to a good selection of images, please include some information about your process and medium, where else you may currently be selling or showing your work, and a little information about yourself. If possible, a CV is also appreciated.
At this time, we only represent artists who are living and working in Canada.
