Call for Submissions – Lighthouse Festival Theatre Box Office Lobby Art Exhibit

Call for Submissions: Indigenous Artists for 2025 Season Art Exhibit

Lighthouse Festival Theatre is pleased to announce a Call for Submissions for artwork created by an Indigenous artist to be displayed in our Box Office Lobby Gallery throughout the 2025 season. We are particularly interested in showcasing the talent of local Indigenous artists, and we welcome a variety of mediums, including sculpture, paintings, beadwork, and more.

We are looking for 8-15 large or medium-scale pieces that will be installed in January 2025 and remain on display until December. The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to share your work with the over 60,000 people that walk through our doors each year.

If your work is chosen, it can be available for sale, and we are proud to support our artists by taking no commission—all proceeds go directly to you. To ensure continuous display, we encourage artists to provide additional pieces that can be kept on-site, should a work be purchased and collected before the end of the season.

Once installed, we will host an opening event to showcase the artwork that includes an invitation to the public, food, champagne and music, likely in February or March of 2025.

To participate, please follow the link below to fill out the Call for Submission form. Should your work be chosen, we ask that you provide an artist bio, along with a description of 1-3 pieces you are submitting. Descriptions should include the title, price, medium, and the date of creation, and will be displayed alongside your artwork.

This is a wonderful opportunity for Indigenous artists to share their stories and creativity in our community space. If you are interested in being part of this exhibit, please complete the form below.

We are excited to celebrate the rich, artistic traditions of Indigenous cultures and look forward to showcasing your work in our theatre lobby.

For further questions, please contact Don Kearney-Bourque, Marketing and Communications Manager, at [email protected].

Deadline for submissions: December 20th, 2024

Thank you for sharing your art with us!
