July 14th – August 2nd, 2024
In this popular exhibit, Island artists, along with seasonal and visiting artists, come together to display their creative talents. Painting, photography, fibre arts, sculpture, woodcarving and imaginative mixed-media pieces are all displayed together in one memorable show, and it’s all for sale at very reasonable prices. We welcome back our regular artists who faithfully participate in this event, and we are always looking for new artists of all ages.
This show is an important fund raiser for the Gallery. Artists may submit up to four pieces. The entry fee is $10 per submission, and the Gallery will charge a 25% commission on sales.
If you wish to participate in the Island Art Show, complete the Entry Form and submit it to the Gallery office by July 7. The Entry Fee of $10 per submission, is payable by e-transfer (gmag2121@gmail.com), or cheque made payable to the Gallery, and mailed to the Treasurer, Grand Manan Art Gallery, 10 Marathon Lane, Grand Manan, NB, E5G3A3.

The work must be ready to hang (preferably with a wire, not frame clips), and a label with the name of the artist, medium and title of the piece must be attached to the back of the artwork.
