Call for Proposals

Struts Gallery 2026-2028 Exhibitions

Deadline for submissions: November 17, 2025, 11:59pm Atlantic 

​​

 

​

Struts Gallery is seeking proposals for exhibitions to take place over the next two operating years, beginning summer 2026 through winter 2028. We invite proposals from professional Canadian artists and collectives and those based in Canada, working in the visual and media arts. As an artist-run centre, we are passionate about providing a space for creative exploration and risk-taking. We are interested in unconventional and challenging contemporary art that engages with critical, conceptual, or experimental ideas and approaches. Struts Gallery encourages submissions of work that is new and recent, that engages community, activates dialogue, and represents diverse perspectives.

​

Struts Gallery is an artist-run centre located in Sackville, New Brunswick, a rural community of roughly 6000 people, operating on the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People in the Siknikt district of Mi’kma’ki.

​

We welcome proposals from artists from groups that have historically been underrepresented in the gallery, including Indigenous people, Black people, people of colour, and 2SLGBTQIA+. Current students and/or MFA thesis exhibitions will not be considered.

​

WHAT WE PROVIDE

• an artist fee for exhibition in accordance with the current CARFAC Fee Schedule under Category 1.

• an additional budget of $1000 toward installation, shipping, production, advertising, and travel, to be allocated by the gallery in consultation with the artist.

• installation assistance and access to media arts equipment and technical support.

• opportunity for an artist talk or workshop in conjunction with the exhibition.

• letters of invitation/support for travel grants and other funding.
   

NOTES ON THE BUILDING
Our building is over 120 years old and has experienced its share of wear and tear. Our gallery space is not pristine or square. The floors are worn, ceilings are low, and our lighting system is ad hoc. It is not a precious space, but we are open to experimentation, alterations, and interventions.
