Exhibition Submission Guidelines
Eligibility & Exhibition Proposals
Tri-Art Gallery welcomes submissions from emerging to professional individual artists, curators, and collectives to apply with new or existing exhibition proposals. Exhibitions will be on view for 3-6 weeks and accessible during regular store hours.
Tri-Art Products Requirement
As the primary showroom for Tri-Art products, the Tri-Art Gallery gallery is dedicated to showing artwork that has been produced all or in significant part with Tri-Art manufactured products*. Work that does not include Tri-Art products does not fit the mandate of our gallery and will not be considered for shows. Some exceptions may apply.
The Tri-Art Gallery is not currently accepting digital art submission.
*Note: This does not mean "any materials purchased at Art Noise", but more specifically, products produced by Tri-Art Mfg. Inc. Visit www.tri-art.ca for more information or contact gallery@tri-art.ca for clarification.
Curated Group Shows & Installations
Tri-Art Gallery will (when scheduling allows) host a curated group show on a yearly basis for Tri-Art users. Notices for submission to these shows will appear on this page and social media.
Installations that consist of or include an audio or video component (with or without sound) will also be considered for exhibition.
