CALLING ALL YUKON ARTISTS AND CURATORS
Are you a Yukon or Atlin, B.C. resident looking to exhibit your artwork? Are you an artist or curator with an incredible idea for an exhibition? Consider submitting a proposal to the Yukon Art Society.
Yukon Art Society is a non-profit organization that strives to build the arts community in Yukon by inspiring the enjoyment of art and supporting those who make art to grow and access opportunities. Through our community space, Arts Underground, we host two unique gallery spaces dedicated to exhibiting emerging, mid-career, and established Yukon artists.
Exhibition proposals are accepted year-round, and applications are typically juried three times per year in the spring, summer, and fall, with an active call for proposals distributed prior to each jury session.
We are currently seeking proposals for exhibitions in late-2024 & 2025. The deadline for consideration in our spring jury session is Sunday, March 31. 2024.
The next call will be in July 2024.
Who Can Apply?
Artists, curators, and non-profit organizations may submit exhibition proposals.
Yukon residents (including Atlin, BC) may host solo exhibitions or participate in group exhibitions. Non-residents may participate in group exhibitions provided that at least one participant is a Yukon resident.
Artists/organizations must be members of the Yukon Art Society at the time of their exhibitions, but do not need to be members in order to submit an exhibition proposal.
For complete terms of eligibility, see YAS Terms of Entry and General Information
