Introduction p2 Table of Contents p2 Artist-Run Centers p 3-5 This Gallery Survey contains the information on Alberta’s artistrun-centres, public and commercial galleries provided by those that responded to our survey request. Although this survey contains information on many of Alberta’s galleries, it is not intended to be a complete listing and it is advisable for artists to contact each gallery directly before making a submission.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the information herein is current and accurate, however, due to the suddenness of changes in Alberta’s gallery community some items may already be dated or incorrect. In addition to this, not every gallery surveyed responded, so for non-responsive galleries we have simply listed their name, address, phone number and fax at the end of each section. Other important items that artists should be aware of and make inquiries about at each gallery are: • Galleries charging rental or hanging fees • Galleries specifying that work must be professionally framed • Additional charges for: • • • Invitations • Opening Receptions • Mailing out of announcements Insurance coverage and deductibles Who pays deductible if work is stolen or damaged It is also important Alberta artists know that in 2007 the Alberta Foundation for the Arts made it mandatory for any public galleries or artist-run-centres receiving public gallery funding to ‘contract with exhibiting artists and provide professional artists’ fees according to copyright legislation and schedules recommended by the Canadian Artist Representation Copyright Collective (CARCC)’. For additional information on the Copyright Fee Schedule go to www.carcc.ca. Visual Arts Alberta would like to thank all the galleries who participated in this inaugural effort, in addition to the support and assistance of CARFAC Saskatchewan.

Neither the galleries listed nor CARFAC MARITIMES can assume liability for problems that may arise from its use or for any errors or omissions contained herein. Copyright, all rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, or stored in a database and retrieval system, without the prior written permission of CARFAC MARITIMES. © 2011 CARFAC MARITIMES 3 N O T E S The CARFAC Maritimes Gallery Survey contains information on artist-run centres, public, commercial, school & university galleries, art centres and co-op galleries throughout the Maritime Provinces: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Artists may find this guide useful when planning their marketing strategies and deciding where and how to submit their work for exhibition and/or sale. It is also a beneficial tool for galleries, dealers, government agencies, collectors and the general public when assessing the market and finding a source for the artwork created in our provinces. This survey is not intended as a complete list of where art is exhibited and/or sold in the Maritimes. Only those spaces that have a clearly defined exhibition space suitable for hanging and exhibiting of art works were included. Not all galleries chose to be included in this survey. Artists are reminded to read all contracts carefully and ask questions about who is responsible to pay for what (invitations, opening receptions, mailing of announcements, framing costs, etc.). In addition, artists are advised to check with galleries regarding insurance coverage, all risks coverage and payment of insurance deductibles if the work is lost, stolen or damaged. Canadian copyright law gives artists the right to receive payment for works exhibited in public galleries (exhibition fees and/or artists’ fees). More information on the current exhibition fee schedule is available from CARFAC National offices at http://www.carcc.ca/ feeschedules.html 4 Notes Every effort has been made to ensure that the information in this survey is accurate; however, we advise artists to talk to the galleries directly before making submissions. Changes in the Maritimes’ art community can happen at any time and it is beneficial to confirm the requirements of each gallery so all parties can work together with full satisfaction of the agreements. The survey is available in electronic form at the CARFAC Maritimes website: www.carfacmaritimes.org CARFAC Maritimes would like to sincerely thank the galleries and people who participated and helped us complete the survey, as we make efforts to collect and distribute this information. Thank you especially to Grant Dutnall from CARFAC Saskatchewan, Bill Horne from CARFAC BC, Sarah Petite and Susan Tooke from CARFAC Maritimes and Visual Arts Nova Scotia for your help.

When The Robert McLaughlin Gallery was founded in 1967 the mandate stressed collection, preservation, and conservation of fine art, particularly Canadian, as well as exhibition of collection and interpretation through educational programming. The Gallery’s founders ensured that The Gallery’s resources be available for research, and that the Gallery’s mission serve the educational, intellectual, and aesthetic needs of the community both locally and nationally. In the early years the mandate was strengthened by focusing on contemporary visual art within the context of Canadian modern art, especially Painters Eleven. The Gallery accomplishes its mission through exhibitions, educational outreach, and community programming. We tell the continuing story of Canadian art and provide challenging art experiences, formal and informal, through exhibitions and education for all ages. We strive to actively engage the community in the wider possibilities of meaning and enjoyment in art. The Gallery grew from th inspired response of Oshawa designer William Caldwell to an exhibition of work by local artists. He organized the artists to establish a gallery in a commercial space on Simcoe Street North. Shortly thereafter Ewart McLaughlin and his wife Margaret (painter Alexandra Luke) offered major financial support and works from her collection toward the establishment of an expanded public art gallery for the City. Luke was an important artist linked to the beginnings of abstract painting in Canada and a founding member of Painters Eleven. The Gallery was incorporated with the name of Robert, founder of the McLaughlin Carriage Company, grandfather of Ewart, and father of Col. R. S. (Sam) McLaughlin (General Motors of Canada). Although a very successful businessman, Robert had a lifelong enthusiasm for art and was a devoted amateur painter. His granddaughter Isabel was a significant Canadian artist and a great friend of the Gallery. She was a founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters and an inspiration to many other artists. Although The Gallery has national and provincial reach in its collection and programming, its beginnings are rooted in the aspirations of local artists and it has maintained a commitment to the regional artistic community. 107 The Gallery is independently incorporated, governed by an elected Board of Trustees, operating with professional staff and volunteers in a City-owned facility designed by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson. Support is provided by a mixture of sources including the City of Oshawa, the Ontario Arts Council, The Canada Council for the Arts, Department of Canadian Heritage-Museum Assistance Program, and the RMG Volunteer Committee.

Kennedy Gallery 150 Main Street East, North Bay, ON P1B 1A8 705-474-1944 ext 231 http://www.kennedygallery.org info@kennedygallery.org Dermot Wilson Mandate At the W.K.P. Kennedy Public Art Gallery we are bringing people and the arts together, enriching the cultural life of the community through visual arts programming in all media, fostering artistic development, educating arts and cultural audiences, and promoting the art and artists of Northern Ontario. Opened in 1987 as a Public Gallery housed in the North Bay Arts Centre complex, the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery is named after one of our city's forefathers. The Kennedy family established an endowment fund to assist our Education Program in 1990. The Gallery is registered as a non-profit charitable organization under the name, North Bay Theatre and Arts Community Centre. Shortly after the Gallery was established, a bequest of historical artworks was donated to form the base of our Permanent Collection. Since then, our collection has grown to include artists working in many media from all across Northern and Southern Ontario. In 1997, the Arts Centre, of which the Kennedy Gallery is a part, changed its name to the Capitol Centre to indicate a change in focus for the complex. We were intent upon becoming a regional locus for the arts, a place that offered cultural events to audiences from cities and towns throughout Northeastern Ontario. In 1998-99, with public donations and funding from the Museum Assistance Program, the Gallery upgraded its Permanent Collection Storage and Conservation Facility. From 2004 to the present the Kennedy Gallery has developed a strong contemporary exhibition and touring program. For 2007-2008 our touring exhibitions program included: Corporate Wasteland (an international exhibition of contemporary photography), The Temagami Angele Project, which started on June 1st , 2007, and ran until mid-October (for this group exhibition the Kennedy Gallery installed the exhibit, organized multiple “satellite” events and produced a catalogue), Autoshow (a group exhibition that includes three artists from our region) and Sequential Desire (a multi-media group exhibition from emerging Ontario artists). In recent years we have also become known for our site-specific art event entitled Ice Follies and for various “public” art events and exhibits (Camera Frontera, Show us Your Shorts Film Festival, Routes and Rhythms Performance Series, etc.). The Gallery is also now presenting a full program of educational classes, workshops, and mentor sessions. 113 Submission Requirements Artists who are interested in applying for an exhibition in the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery should provide a proposal package for the consideration of the Director/Curator. The package should include fifteen to twenty images of current work, a corresponding documentation sheet, and a curriculum vitae. As well you may provide an exhibition proposal. (e.g. If you plan to exhibit work based on a particular theme, or a collaborative exhibition, multi-media, etc....), a brief artist's statement, reviews and catalogues from previous exhibitions. You should also include a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return mail. The W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery serves its community by providing a balanced program of contemporary and historical art. Programming is planned approximately twelve to eighteen months in advance. Send your exhibition proposal to: Dermot Wilson, Director/Curator WKP Kennedy Gallery 150 Main St. East North Bay, ON P1B 1A8 Selection Process: Our selections committee meets once per year in October.

(705)476-2444 www.whitewatergallery.com info@whitewatergallery.com Clayton Windatt MISSION: White Water Gallery is committed to the professional presentation of contemporary visual artists who are breaking new ground at the leading edge of artistic expression. The gallery strives to increase public awareness and accessibility to contemporary visual arts within their community. MANDATE: To develop a programming space that promotes artistic development and progressive initiatives by visual, media, literary, and experimental artists. As a regional arts centre White Water Gallery recognizes its need to serve a diverse group of artists and arts practitioners. In 2008 the White Water Gallery reviewed and expanded its mandate, and established that it would continue to aid artists at varying levels in their careers by addressing their needs in several different ways: 1. Student Artists: Students will be exposed to, and able to participate in the assembly of a variety of exhibitions from established artists from across Canada. They will gain arts administration knowledge and curatorial skills by experiencing hands-on how an exhibition is organized and developed from beginning to end. 2. Emerging/new-generation Artists: The White Water Gallery pays full CARFAC approved rates to all exhibitions selected by the programming committee. Additionally, the White Water Gallery hosts a series of juried, group & member’s shows throughout the year. Artists that are prepared to start exhibiting their work will have the opportunity to start building their Artist Curriculum Vitae through participation in these shows. Emerging Artists that apply for solo exhibitions will receive the same consideration as mid-career and established artists from the White Water Gallery’s programming selection committee. 3. Mid-Career & Established Artists: The White Water Gallery pays full CARFAC approved rates to all exhibitions selected by the programming committee. Additionally, the White Water Gallery will be hosting yearly exhibitions that require Jurors. Mid-career and established artists will be given the opportunity to act as jurors, using their experience to directly aid emerging artists through the jury process. Submission Requirements Please contact the gallery for current calls 115 Founded in 1977, the White Water Gallery has played a leading role in the promotion and dissemination of contemporary visual art and culture, both locally and nationally. As a not-for-profit artist-run centre, the Gallery aims to facilitate a diverse range of artistic programming. We offer the use of a dedicated exhibition space, audio-video equipment for time-based projects, as well as the support of our members and volunteers. We also encourage initiatives that seek to expand our programming beyond the gallery space, and welcome proposals for site-specific projects. Selection Process: The programming committee reviews submissions following the two annual deadlines: May 30th and Oct 1st. Exhibitions run for approximately four weeks. The White Water Gallery pays exhibition fees to participating artists in accordance with CARFAC. All submissions must include: - Artist’s CV - One page Artist or Curatorial Statement - One page project description, outlining the scope of the project and any specific requirements (spatial, technical, time of year, etc - Support material: max. 10 slides or jpegs on CD; max. one VHS or DVD - Descriptive list for visual material (title, date, dimensions, medium) - SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) White Water Gallery is not responsible for lost or damaged submissions.

These proposals are viewed by a programming committee of professional artists and arts professionals and current board members. They make recommendations to the board on which events and exhibitions should be pursued. Emphasis is given to innovative, stimulating and well executed work, as well as work that encourages diverse outlooks culturally, generationally and artistically.

We hope that artists will find this guide useful when planning their marketing strategies and deciding where and how to submit their work for exhibition or sale. It is important to note that written contracts must now be used in all cases. The Saskatchewan Arts Professions Act requires a written contract between artists and engagers. The contract must include specific basic elements which are detailed in the Checklist For Written Contracts, provided by the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport (see page 6 and 7). Contract templates are available online at www.carfac.sk.ca or CARFAC SASK offices. Artists are reminded to read all contracts carefully and ask questions about who is responsible for what and who will pay for what (invitations, opening receptions, mailing of announcements, framing costs, etc). In addition, artists are advised to check with galleries regarding insurance coverage, all risks coverage and payment of insurance deductibles if the work is lost, stolen or damaged. Artists should be aware that Canadian copyright law gives artists the right to receive payment for works exhibited in public galleries (exhibition fees / artist’s fees). The CARFAC Recommended Minimum Copyright Fee Schedule is available on-line at www.carcc.ca or from CARFAC Offices. Other associated information on copyright is also available from CARFAC Offices. 4 This survey is not intended as a complete listing of all places where art is exhibited and sold in Saskatchewan. Only those spaces that have a clearly defined exhibition space suitable for the hanging and exhibiting of art works were included. This edition also includes some Saskatchewan rural galleries which regularly exhibit works from OSAC’s traveling shows and others which are educational, private or commercial exhibition spaces. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained herein is accurate; however, we advise artists to consult with the galleries directly to confirm their requirements before making submissions, as changes in Saskatchewan’s art community can occur suddenly. Only a limited number of copies of this survey were printed. Electronic copies of this survey and further information about Alternative Exhibition Spaces is available on line in the Members’ Area of the CARFAC SASK website www.carfac.sk.ca. CARFAC SASK would like to extend special thanks to the galleries who participated in the survey and who continue to support our efforts to collect and distribute this information to visual artists. Grant Dutnall Membership Services CARFAC SASK 5 Check List for Written Contracts - June 2009 Provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport www.tpcs.gov.sk.ca/contract-checklist The Arts Professions Act increases protection for artists and their intellectual property by requiring written contracts between those who engage the services of artists and the artists themselves. The legislation requires the following basic elements be included in each contract: • the legal names of the engager and the professional artist; • the effective date of the contract; • the work, production or enterprise that forms the object of the contract; • the financial consideration due to the professional artist and the terms and conditions of payment, including the date of the delivery of the work or production or the conduct of the enterprise and the date of the delivery of payment; • the frequency with which the engager shall report to the professional artist on the transactions made with respect to the work, production or enterprise that is subject to the contract and for which financial consideration remains owing after the contract is entered into; • the notice and, if applicable, the compensation required if either the engager or the professional artist terminates the contract before its completion; • dispute resolution mechanisms; • any transfer of right and any grant of licence consented to by the professional artist, including: 6 a. the purposes of the transfer of right or grant of licence; b. the term of the transfer of right or grant of licence; and c. the jurisdiction in which the transfer of right or grant of licence applies; • whether any licence granted to an engager is transferable to a third party; • any limitations on the use of the work or production or the conduct of the enterprise; • if applicable, any waiver of moral rights within the meaning of section 14.1 of The Copyright Act (Canada); and • in the case of a contract between an engager and an Aboriginal professional artist, the protocols respecting the use of Aboriginal symbols or artifacts or matters of importance to Aboriginal people. Additional Check List for Written Contracts If a written contract entered into reserves an exclusive right of the engager over any future use of the work or production of the professional artist, the contract must include the following elements in addition to the elements listed above: • a description of the work or production; • a description of the process that the professional artist must follow to terminate the contract after the expiration of a specified period; • a date on which any exclusive right of the engager over any future use of the work or production of the professional artist or any right of the engager to the work or production expires; and • any additional elements prescribed in the regulations (at this time there are none). 7 Table of Contents Artist Cooperatives Art x 9 Clay Studio 3 Pottery Shop Handmade House The Mix Artist Collective Riverhouse Gallery Artist-Run Centres AKA Artist-Run Centre Neutral Ground paved Art + New Media The Red Shift Gallery Sakewewak First Nations Artists Collective Inc.

These schedules were developed from rates established by Jack Chambers and Tony Urquhart in 1968, rates previously negotiated by CARCC (CARFAC’s copyright collective), and increases in the cost of living. This schedule, released in advance of effective dates to accommodate budgeting, is effective 01 January of the calendar year. The published schedule contains ranges of rates in some areas. All fees are considered minimum payments for the use of the copyrights and/or the professional services of visual/media artists. Copyright use fee and royalties are subject to GST. The CARFAC fees do not include GST. CARFAC (an artist-run organization founded in 1968 by artists for artists) is the federally certified representative organization of professional visual and media artists in Canada. As such, CARFAC is obligated to represent the interests of all visual/media artists in Canada and to establish the standards and fee scales within this sector. CARFAC’s founding principle and continued area of concern is that the artists, like professionals in other fields, be paid fairly for their creative output and services. CARCC (Canadian Artists Representation Copyright Collective Inc), founded by CARFAC in 1990 to assist artists in administering their copyrights, is a logical extension of CARFAC’s founding principles.
