Cultivate Art Commons welcomes emerging and mid-career artists—local, national, and international—from diverse cultural communities, working across all media, to apply. Selected exhibitions will be presented in 2027 and early 2028.
As a non-profit artist-run centre in Katarokwi/Kingston, we’re dedicated to supporting contemporary artists through equity-rooted, community-engaged practices. We’re looking for proposals that explore a wide range of aesthetic approaches and engage with conceptual, formal, socio-political, and cultural ideas.
We welcome submissions for:
🎨 Solo + group exhibitions
🎭 Performances
🌀 Curatorial projects
🤝 Collaborations
We’re also excited to share an update: as part of our commitment to being member-led, members now have access to a dedicated submission stream—with one exhibition selected per cycle (Fall, Winter, Spring/Summer) from this pool.
Not a member yet? We encourage you to join while applications remain open—though we warmly welcome submissions from non-members as well.
