Theatre Network is currently rebuilding our venue, The Roxy Theatre, lost to fire in 2015. When open to the public, the building will include: a 200 seat mainstage theatre, a multi-functional blackbox performance space, a rehearsal hall, and 3 gallery spaces (one on each level of the building). These new gallery spaces will offer visual artists another space and opportunity to showcase and sell their works.
CALL FOR ARTIST SUBMISSIONS
Theatre Network is now accepting expressions of interests from artists who wish to be considered for future showings in The New Roxy Theatre. See below for more info, or download a PDF call for submissions here.
ELIGIBILITY
Artists must be Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents, have an established art practice, and be free to enter into an agreement to have the ROXY show and sell works on their behalf. We encourage artists of all diversities and backgrounds to apply.
ELIGIBLE ART
- Work may be 2-dimensional wall-mounted, 3-dimensional wall-mounted or free-standing, executed in any medium. Exhibition space is limited in its ability to accommodate work involving sound, light or movement.
- Artists may submit up to 10 works for consideration, but should submit no less than 3 works so the Curator is able to gain a reasonable understanding of your practice.
- Images of the works should be submitted via high resolution photographs, via email, dropbox, Google Drive, or another file sharing service for large format images.
