Arts New West has an open call for artists for exhibitions in 2024. Apply by July 15.

Arts New West is looking for artists to exhibit their work in New Westminster in 2024.

Arts New West (the newly rebranded Arts Council of New Westminster) hosts a year-round slate of exhibitions at the Gallery at Queen's Park, in Centennial Lodge. It also curates and coordinates exhibitions at the Anvil Centre Community Art Gallery.

It aims to have exhibitions that feature a variety of visual arts by a wide range of artists from the Metro Vancouver region.

"The exhibition program aims to reflect both the cultural and artistic diversity of contemporary art and serve as an educational forum for New Westminster and surrounding communities," the gallery's call to artists says.

As part of its work, Arts New West wants to help  break down exclusionary barriers and create a platform for marginalized voices, so artists on the LGBTQ+ spectrum, non-binary artists, artists of colour, Indigenous artists and disabled artists are strongly encouraged to submit.

Submissions are open until July 15.

You can find more information about the requirements for both galleries, as well as exhibition application forms, at the Arts New West website.
