2012 EXHIBITION SEASON
The City of Ottawa’s Public Art Program operates two professional galleries: Karsh-Masson Gallery and City Hall Art Gallery. Both galleries exhibit contemporary artwork in a wide range of styles and mediums to promote and increase awareness of the visual arts in Ottawa.
Exhibitions are reviewed and chosen once a year by a jury of local professional artists and art specialists. The best possible attempt is made for jurors to be representative of the range of submissions received in any given year.
Proposals are juried based on: artistic merit, professionalism and coherence of the artwork represented in the images submitted; the written proposal; the submission’s relevance to the galleries’ mandate; and appropriateness to the public nature of the gallery spaces. All submissions received are automatically considered for both galleries. The jury will only consider one exhibition submission per applicant.
