Exhibit with Saanich

Applications for the 2027 Exhibition Program are now closed. Thank you for your interest!

Saanich is committed to celebrating the rich diversity of people in our community, and strives to reflect equity, diversity and inclusion in our programs and services. 

Saanich values the diversity of our community and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Financial assistance may be available to help reduce barriers related to exhibition fees and participation costs.

Our gallery spaces welcome artists, arts and cultural groups, and community organizations from across the Capital Regional District (CRD), representing all stages of artistic development. New and returning artists are invited to apply, though acceptance is not guaranteed from year to year.

Selected artists are provided with space to share and display artwork, explore ideas, and build professional practices for preparing an exhibition. The artist is fully responsible for the installation, and takedown of their exhibit.
