City taking art proposals for Corridor Community Gallery

Jan 12, 2024 | 1:48 PM

The Corridor Community Gallery invites exhibition ideas and proposals from individual artists and groups representing diverse artistic practices and experience levels.

The Corridor Community Gallery is an informal gallery space located in the hallway adjacent to the ceramics studio in the lower level of the Recreation Centre (4501 47A Avenue). The space provides a public venue for displaying art by local emerging and established artists. The goals of the gallery are to:

• Support a variety of community arts practitioners, community groups and individuals at all levels of experience by providing exhibition space,
• Encourage conversations about art,
• Help create an environment near other creative spaces that highlights and celebrates visual art.

The gallery accommodates 2-dimensional artwork in nine exhibition frames, measuring 24 x 30”. The frames are mounted securely to the walls in fixed formats: two are positioned horizontally or “landscape” style and seven are positioned vertically or “portrait” style. There is also a display case than can accommodate small 3-dimensional art pieces such as sculpture or ceramics.

Proposals will be considered based on fit and suitability for the space, which is a public setting. A diversity of artists’ voices will also be considered in selection. Interested artists are asked to submit a completed application form along with 5-10 jpg image files to culturemailbox@reddeer.ca. Proposals and exhibition ideas are welcome at any time.
