Exhibition Proposals

Exhibitions are developed on an ongoing basis. The AGN is dedicated to stay current and responsive to the outside arts community. In this spirit, unsolicited submissions from artists and curators are accepted. The review process provides a valuable resource for programme development and a means of keeping in touch with artist’s production.
All submissions are looked at thoughtfully. However, due to high volume, not everyone may receive a personal reply. Those of special interest may be followed up by further correspondence and a studio visit as appropriate.

Exhibition programming is generally confirmed two years in advance. We seek a range of media, technique and style, a variety of presentation strategies and uses of the exhibition space and diverse content and voice. Priority is given to art and artists that achieve outstanding results, demonstrate consistency, concentrated investigation, creative and imaginative investment, and have a capacity to engage public audiences on a variety of levels.

Please address your exhibition proposal to: Curatorial Review, Art Gallery of Northumberland, 55 King St. W. Cobourg, Ontario K9A 2M2.
Submission should contain the following:

Cover Letter

• Artist statement (including media, theme or context, technique)
• Up to date C.V.
• Maximum of 20 images on a well labeled CD (please format as jpegs at 300dpi)
• Corresponding key list of images indicating title, date, medium and dimensions)
• Relevant support material (articles, reviews, catalogues)
• If you require return of your images, a self addressed stamped envelope
• Do not send original material

The AGN pays artist fees for exhibitions, workshops and public talks at the recommended CARFAC fee level. The AGN is a member of the Ontario Association of Art Galleries and the Canadian Museum Association and subscribes to code of professional standards, ethics and legal requirements as set forth by these organizations.
