The Coalition of New Canadians for Arts and Culture is organizing an Art Exhibition in May 2010 in Ottawa showcasing artworks that acknowledge and celebrate Diversity and Multiculturalism.
The exhibition will be at the Art Ottawa East (Shenkman Arts Centre) and at the Patrick John Mills Contemporary Fine Art Gallery. Eligibility Criteria
The Exhibition is open to established and emerging artists. Artists must be New Canadians  (meaning Canadians or permanent residents born in another country.)
The general guidelines for submitting artworks are as follows:
  • Provide name, address, phone number, e-mail address and web site if available.
  • Include Curriculum Vitae detailing experience and other relevant information.
  • Submit digital files with a maximum of 10 artworks. These files must be in JPEG format and should be no less than 1 MB and should not exceed 3 MB in size.
  • Include a description of works: media, size (inches: height x width), date and total price (taxes included).
  • All works must have been finished within three years prior to submission and completed after May 2007.
  • Provide a one-sentence statement describing the work submitted.
  • All Media are accepted (two-dimensional works: paintings and works on paper including photographs). Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome.
  • Submissions should be sent by:
Wednesday, March 31, 2010 to the following e-mail address: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
or by mail to:
Coalition of New Canadians for Arts and Culture
Art Exhibition - May 2010
945 Wellington St. W. Second Floor.
Ottawa, ON  K1Y 2X5
We will acknowledge submissions as received. If you do not hear from us within a few days, please resubmit. Do not send original artwork.
After the submissions have been reviewed to ensure compliance with eligibility criteria, a panel of 5 jurors will evaluate the digital files and select the artists to be invited to participate in the exhibition. Those chosen will then be asked to submit the original artwork represented in their digital file submission.
Only up to 4 to 6 artworks per artist will be accepted. Artworks should preferably have the same theme.
Works on canvas to be exhibited must also be secured on stretcher bars; framing is optional. However, if the painting is on paper, the work must be framed with glazing; i.e., glass or Plexiglas.
Loose, exposed, or unprotected paper works cannot be accepted.
Selection will take place in April 2010.
