Collingwood Public Library is accepting applications from local artists for its 2026 exhibition cycle, with gallery slots starting in July 2026. The call is open to all local artists, including amateurs and students; application packages may be picked up at the Public Services Desk or downloaded online. Applications will be reviewed by the Arts Advisory Council and applicants will be informed by email or phone.
Interested artists should complete the application form, assemble a portfolio of their work and forward the completed application to Leigh Ann Epp (lepp@collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca; 705-445-1571 ext. 6241). Applicants will be notified by email or phone once their proposal has been evaluated.
The library’s exhibition spaces include the ArtWalk Gallery, the Bridge Gallery and various community rooms, and the program welcomes all media — from painting and photography to textile arts and sketching. Professional status is not required; the goal is to give local creativity a public platform.
This initiative supports the library’s mission to enrich social and cultural experiences in Collingwood. For details on the application process and key dates, visit the CPL Art Gallery official page (https://www.collingwoodpubliclibrary.ca/what-s-happening/art-gallery) or contact Leigh Ann Epp at the Public Services Desk or via the email/phone above to ask about selection criteria and timing.
