FAQ

Visitor questions

Yes, always. We are funded through a combination of grants, donations, and art sales commissions. We believe financial barriers should never prevent someone from experiencing art.

Many pieces in our exhibitions are available for purchase. Prices are listed on the wall labels or available from our gallery team. We also offer payment plans for select works.

Applications open each January for the following year. We accept artists working in any medium. Visit our residency page for eligibility requirements and submission guidelines.

We review artist portfolios on a rolling basis. Submit your work through our online portal and our curatorial team will respond within 6 to 8 weeks.

About the Gallery

A platform for bold voices

The Canvas Collective was founded in 2019 with a mission to bridge the gap between emerging artists and the contemporary art market. We focus on underrepresented voices and work that challenges conventions.

Our 5,000-square-foot space includes two exhibition halls, a project room for experimental work, and a studio wing for artists in residence. Admission is always free.
