Summer Members’ Exhibition 2026

The Conseil des arts de la Baie invites all current members to bring in their artwork for our annual Summer Members' Show at the Trécarré Gallery.

This year's theme aligns with Nova Scotia's Acadian Heritage Month. We encourage submissions that celebrate the region, its heritage, or connected themes. You do not need to identify as Acadian to participate; we welcome all creative interpretations from our diverse membership.

Exhibition Guidelines

• Eligibility: Open to all current 2026 CAB members. If you need to become a member or renew your annual membership, please visit our Membership page. If you are unsure of your current membership status, please contact us at info@lecab.ca to verify before dropping off your work.

• Quantity: Members may bring in up to 4 works. Depending on the overall volume of submissions, the hanging committee will determine the final selection to ensure everyone is represented.

• Mediums: All artistic media are welcome. Please note that we have a limited number of pedestals available for 3D and sculptural submissions.

• Preparation: All artwork must be ready to hang, securely wired, and framed or finished appropriately. If works on paper are to be pinned to the wall directly, please indicate this clearly.
