SAAG, Lethbridge Submission Guidelines for Exhibition Proposals Submission deadline: ongoing
Exhibition proposals are accepted throughout the year and reviews are ongoing. Selection is carried out over a period of time through studio visits and correspondence with artists and curators in whom the gallery has an interest. Those interested in proposing their work to the gallery are asked to include with their submission: a curriculum vitae, an artist statement and/or letter of intent, a wide selection of images, and other relevant support material (reviews, essays, publications, etc…). Submissions should be mailed to: Southern Alberta Art Gallery, 601 3rd Ave. S., Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0H4
Images are preferred on CD or DVD, however hard copies and slides are accepted. The gallery will keep your submission, including disks and other support material, on file for consideration. If you would prefer to have specific submission content returned, please include a SASE with your request. Given the large number of submissions received by the gallery, formal letters of reply will only be issued to proposals of immediate interest.
Exhibitions are generally six weeks in length. An opening is held to introduce the work to the public. Artists are also invited to give an illustrated lecture on their work in conjunction with the University of Lethbridge Faculty of Fine Art during the academic year. Other special events (workshops, panel discussions, etc.) are considered on a case-by-case basis.
The Southern Alberta Art Gallery pays CARFAC fees, shipping and insurance, and often seeks funding to produce catalogues for the exhibition. All publications, including our quarterly newsletter GALLERY (which discusses and reproduces work by exhibiting artists along with other programming), are exchanged with other institutions in Canada and abroad. The Southern Alberta Art Gallery fosters the work of contemporary artists who challenge boundaries, encourages broad public engagement and promotes awareness and exploration of artistic expression. Our work extends to local, national and international communities.
