On this page I am going to list sites that have Artist Calls and Opportunities for Submissions as I find and review them.
So the first one is from Visual Arts Alberta (VAAA)
VAAA has a great blog site where they list all the calls and opportunities for artists; click here to go there or better yet join the VAAA and they will email you the calls and opportunities and you will also enjoy other benefits of membership and be supporting the arts in Alberta.
We all know about Artists in Canada, where you can create a listing for your self and you work but did you know that they also have a resources section that lists artist calls? Well now you know and click here to go there.
Ben Navaee Gallery in Toronto has a very extensive listing for artist calls in Canada and around the world, I can’t imagine the hours they spent compiling these listings. Click here to go there . Their gallery concept is interesting as well where you join the gallery as a member with benefits, read about it here.
This is a “fairly extensive list of resources for you to peruse on a monthly basis, searching for viable opportunities. For artists that need to develop a “paper trail” for their resume, there is no better way than entering juried shows and competitions. There are a number of websites that offer exhibition opportunities for artists. Sometimes, a fee is involved to enter the show, other times it is a call for exhibition proposals that requires no fee.”

“These sites changes frequently, so don’t just rely on my recommendations, but do internet searches of your own to discover constantly new sites that are being developed. Some of the sites require a “premium” sign up for more listings, but I have never found that necessary, as there is plenty of free information out there. Make it your resolution this year to submit to 3-4 opportunities per month. This is not an activity that you will ever give up, kind of like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, once you finish, it’s time to start all over. At the end of the year, you will have a concrete way of judging your success by admiring the activity on your bio. Remember, this is just a start, happy hunting!”
