CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Call for Submissions: 2027-2028 Programming
Galerie Le Trécarré, in partnership with the Conseil des arts de la Baie (le CAB), is seeking proposals for its programming season running from April 2027 to March 2028. We invite professional and emerging artists from all disciplines to submit proposals for solo or duo exhibitions.
Located in Church Point, on the Acadian coast of Nova Scotia, Galerie Le Trécarré is a fully accessible exhibition space. In addition to the exhibition, artists are encouraged to propose a creative residency component of up to four weeks. This residency provides privileged access to the La Manivelle Printmaking Studio and allows for immersion within the artistic community of the Clare region.
The CAB is committed to supporting selected artists through the payment of CARFAC exhibition fees, installation assistance, and a comprehensive media and photographic promotion strategy. Please note that full professional fees and travel costs are contingent upon successful project grant applications, although a minimum fee is guaranteed for each solo exhibition.
Artists are strongly encouraged to contact us to discuss the details of their proposal and get answers to any questions before submitting their application.
Deadline for submissions: May 25, 2026
