2027 Discovery Gallery Exhibition Proposals
Applications accepted until: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 11:59 pm MT
The Alberta Craft Council is calling for proposals for the 2027 Alberta Craft Discovery Gallery in Edmonton – a gallery dedicated to presenting innovative and dynamic exhibitions that challenge audience perceptions and inspire the public to discover the best in contemporary craft.
For 2027, we are seeking fully developed exhibitions with themes that highlight mastery in craftsmanship; feature new work; push the boundaries of craft; and/or celebrate the achievements of our members. Our public galleries are dedicated to showcasing work by emerging, mid-career, and established craft artists. The proposals can be for individual or group exhibitions.
The Discovery Gallery is 436 square feet and is located on the main level of the Alberta Craft Gallery. It features six exhibitions per year, some of which travel to our Calgary Gallery. Each exhibition is accompanied by invitations, online promotion, an opportunity for an in-person or virtual artist talk or interactive demonstration, and a reception.
