Call for Artists of Colour

In an effort to feature more representation, artterra is committed to seeking proposals from artists of colour at various stages of their careers all over Canada!

Before submitting, please remember that we are devoted to POC-identifying and socially racialised artists (Note: This submission is dedicated to visible minorities that may not be racialised as black or indigenous. This may include mixed-ethnicities and races who may have more than one connection to their cultures. We have separate entries for artists who identify as black or indigenous). Your work may reflect that but is not mandatory as you may have more intersecting identities. We’re looking for original works. All entries must be in English and original works. Plagiarism, which includes the use of third-party expressions will not be accepted. 

We are curating the artwork on artterra for interior design clients and we are currently accepting medium and large scale artwork i.e 12 inches and above. 

Please note: there is no fee to submit work, or any other fees required. We only charge a percentage of sales once your artwork sells.

REQUIREMENTS:

Submissions may not be represented or available for purchase on other sites or galleries during the period of our representation Aug 2023-Jan 2024.

For paintings, illustrations, drawings, sculptures and prints, please submit 3-6 pieces that belong to the same collection of work. We ask you include high-resolution digital files in jpeg or png format. Please resize your photos before submitting to a maximum of 2 MB and no larger. 

Submit your work through the application form below. Submission through any other format other than the form below are not accepted.

IMPORTANT DATES:

Entry Deadline: July 3rd, 2023

You will be notified of the final decision via email by July 17th, 2023. If your work is selected, you will receive further information at that time. All participants will be notified via e-mail. We review and respond to every single one of our applications. If you don't hear from us in time, please check your spam folder and contact us. 

All selected work will be featured in our online gallery Aug-Jan 2023.
