Exhibitions are planned by the selection committee after each of our two annual application deadlines (November 15 and March 15). Proposals will be accepted throughout the year and reviewed after each deadline. For the November deadline we generally program exhibitions from May through October. For the March deadlinewe program exhbitions from November through April.

The program includes presentations by students and professional artists. (Priority in the main space is given to student artists at Queen's during the academic year). Others are eligible for the project room during the academic year.

Deadlines: Ongoing

The project room is a 16'x10'x16' self-contained space located inside the main gallery (see floorplan). It is a venue for use by students and professional artists to present primarily installation, new media and time and sound-based works though other proposals will be considered. The project room provides an opportunity to expand on the current program while still providing a venue for the presentation of contemporary art, encouraging original, collaborative and experimental ideas.

Exhibitions will be programmed at least 3 months in advance.

Student exhibitors will not be eligible for artist fees. The gallery will provide funds towards the costs of announcements and will mailout the announcements but it is the exhibitor's responsibility to provide enough copies to the gallery for mail outs. The exhibitor must get approval from the gallery for any material that will be used for promotion such as invites, flyers and ads. The gallery will assist with installation and dismantling of the exhibition.
