For new artists, it鈥檚 an opportunity to have their creations displayed for free for two months in a reasonably high traffic location.

It鈥檚 also a chance to learn about exhibiting their work, while giving the local museum a chance to highlight area talent, said Kobi Christian.

She鈥檚 arts and heritage curator at the 91原创 Centennial Museum, and she鈥檚 putting out a call for entries from local artists who would like to see their work hanging in the foyer of the heritage facility next year.

The museum is once again showcasing the work of local artists through its foyer art program, and putting out a call for 2022 exhibitors.

Interested artists are encouraged to submit photographs of recent artwork, in any medium.

鈥淭he foyer art program offers artists the opportunity to exhibit their work in a prominent place near the entrance at 91原创 Centennial Museum,鈥 she said, noting the site is best suited to exhibit two-dimensional artwork, although three-dimensional work may be considered.

PAST COVERAGE: Call put out to feature local artists

The location can accommodate between three and 10 pieces of artwork, depending on the size of the pieces.

And although preference will be given to local 91原创 artists, the program is open to artists from across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

鈥淲e are always amazed by the work that comes forward from the community,鈥 Christian said, noting that exhibits will stay up for two-month time slots throughout the next calendar year.

鈥淚鈥檓 sure that will continue with this year鈥檚 applicants,鈥 she said, speaking to the quality of the entries.
