Call for Artists (Members Show) — Submissions Now Closed

September 9 @ 8:00 am October 3 @ 5:00 pm

Installation view of the 2024 Members Exhibition: Exposed!

Members are invited to submit original artwork for inclusion in our upcoming Members Exhibition, Exposed!, on view from October 16 – December 19, 2025, at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.

This much-anticipated show offers artists of all backgrounds and experience levels the opportunity to present their work in a professional gallery setting. As a fundraiser for the Gallery, artists are encouraged to make their works available for sale, with a portion of proceeds supporting VPAG’s exhibitions and programs. New this year, however, members may also choose to list their work as Not For Sale (NFS), ensuring that everyone can participate without the pressure of selling.

Above all, the Members’ Exhibition is about giving back to those who support us year-round. This is your opportunity to bring out your best work and share your talents with the community in a professional gallery environment. We are proud to showcase the diverse creativity of our membership and to celebrate the vital role you play in sustaining the arts in our region.

How to Participate

  • Open to all current VPAG members
  • Submit up to two artworks in any medium (painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, etc.)
  • Maximum size: 24 x 36 inches (2D) or 50” total dimensions (3D)
  • Works must be ready to hang or display
  • Sales encouraged as part of our fundraiser (30% commission applies), with the option to list works as Not for Sale (NFS)
  • Works must be delivered to the Gallery on or before October 3, 2025

*New* this year we’ve added an NFS (Not-For-Sale) option for artists who wish to participate but do not want to sell their work. While this exhibition remains a gallery fundraiser, we also recognize that offering a platform for members to share their artwork without the pressure of sales is important. This shift is part of our longer-term vision to transform the Members’ Exhibition into a fully Not-for-Sale exhibition, reflecting our role as a public gallery where the focus remains on presenting art in a non-commercial context. Above all, this exhibition is about celebrating you and your creative contributions to our community!
