The Current Art Call…
Luminaries is a celebration of the end of and return to light.. we are celebrating solstice and the approach of Spring.. and you are given free reign to interpret that as you will.. your work can be already completed, soon to be completed or even just an idea.. so long as it can be completed for exhibition.

Luminaries goes live Nov. 30th for the Art Walk..
Submissions Deadline:   Oct 25th, 2024.

Selected artists are given up to $250 as a purchase of their work. 

A couple Art Fans that heard about the exhibitions through a facebook post walked the entire strip checking out each and every gallery.

We Buy Your Work!
In creating the Teeny Tiny Galleries, we examined many, many different options, styles, and configurations. In doing so, a couple issues grew in prominence- theft/ vandalism.. and artist compensations. While the galleries are *pretty safe and secure..* theft and vandalism takes place.. so, WE purchase your artwork at an estimated 60% of retail value (to a max of $250 CAD).. if the piece goes missing, we’re out.. not you. Effective and equitable compensation for your time and effort is, also, important and, as such.. the 60% purchase rate is representative of estimated CARFAC rates.

Get Exhibited..
Get Paid! 

The first Art Walk was an awesome success.. and once the walk was over, many of the folks went off to explore what else Bowness had to offer.. which is a lot!


Local is good but not necessary!

You don’t need to be from Bowness or even Calgary to participate.. but if you are selected, you do need to make sure you can get your work to us for the exhibition. We want you to get your work out there.. for others to see.. to experience what you think and feel. So.. go ahead and APPLY now… applications are $15 (free for site members) but you’ve got a great chance of bein PAID a competent and equitable amount for your amazing artwork!

Introduction

About the Teeny Tiny Art Collective

Our SAMPLE gallery LIVE at the Bowness Stampede Breakfast

Our objective is to increase exposure for the arts and artists! We are doing this through small or “Micro” galleries placed in accessible spaces so that people who might be afeared of going in to an “Art Gallery..” or just don’t think to go to a gallery.. could gain exposure to the rich and varied arts tapestry. Additionally, artists, themselves, that might be facing limitations towards exhibition or just want to gain additional outreach in any varied genre are welcome to join and participate. 

We are a small collective.. we welcome all interested members.

If you are interested in submitting for exhibition you can use the Single Submission form or you can sign up for a low- cost annual membership and submit your interest to any show we have planned and posted.
