Accepting Proposals for Muir Gallery Exhibitions for 2011

The Muir Gallery is accepting proposals from artists who wish to exhibit a group or individual show during the coming year. The Muir Gallery is community-run, non-profit art space that is committed to providing opportunities to local, emerging and professional artists. It operates with the support of the Comox Valley Community Arts Council and a host of Arts Council members and volunteers.

To exhibit at the Muir Gallery, artists must be residents of the region promoted by the Comox Valley Community Arts Council: Oyster River, Fanny Bay, Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, Denman Island and Hornby Island. Exceptions may be made for shows featuring two or more artists. In these cases, at least 50% of the artwork should be produced by resident artists of the CVCAC region.

Explain in writing your intentions of how and what you will exhibit. Please include an exhibition history, beginning with the most recent, and a resume if applicable. Previous exhibition experience is not a requirement for selection. For an individual show, submit a minimum portfolio of 10 pictures (slides, photographs, and CD-Rom images accepted). For a group show, submit a minimum of 5 pictures (slides, photographs, and CD-Rom images accepted) per artist.
Pictures should be of recent work (done in the past two years) and clearly demonstrate the calibre and style of work intended for the show. Clearly identify pictures with the title of work, medium, size, and name of artist.



Provide a self-addressed stamped envelope if you wish to have your pictures returned. Size restrictions may apply to large works.
Proposals must be received by March 31 Applications for exhibitions are reviewed by the Muir Gallery Committee. Artists will be formally notified of their acceptance or rejection by mail by the end of March. All exhibitors must be current members of the Comox Valley Community Arts Council. Membership forms are available at www.comoxvalleyarts.org or at the Muir Gallery: 440 Anderton Avenue, Courtenay, from 11 am to 4 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.

Any questions should be directed by email to info@comoxvalleyarts.org or by
