EXHIBITION PROPOSAL

The Granville Island Cultural Society invites Visual Artists to submit proposals to show their work in the Waterfront Theatre or Performance Works theatre lobbies.  This opportunity is open for 4 – 8 week long exhibitions and will run throughout the 2012-2013 Theatre Season.  Selected Artists will gain exposure by having their work viewed by thousands of Theatre patrons as well as the opportunity to sell their pieces. 

The Waterfront Theatre and Performance Works are located in the heart of Vancouver on Granville Island.  The theatres are a gathering place for people who come to see the creative and dynamic work of some of the best Theatre Companies and Festivals in Canada, such as the Vancouver International Writers Festival, Carousel Theatre, the Vancouver International Jazz Festival and the Vancouver International Fringe Festival.  With an estimated 70,000 people visiting the theatres every year, it is an essential space for Canadian Artists to showcase their work.

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a variety of artwork in various media types (we ask that submissions do not include sculpture or freestanding art).  Artwork must be able to hang on the wall and must be suitable for a family audience.  The artist must have a significant body of work in order to fill the space (average of 10 medium sized pieces) or submit a proposal for a joint exhibition with other artists. The Granville Island Cultural Society receives a 20% commission on all works sold.
