Call for Gallery Exhibition Submissions
2011 - 2012
The Chapel Gallery is a facility with a special focus on the visual
arts in the Battlefords area. Through art exhibitions, special events
and education programs the Chapel Gallery strives to encourage artistic
growth and appreciation.
Among art galleries the Chapel is unique not only in design but also
in setting. The west-facing patio affords a view of the North Saskatchewan
River Valley that is unsurpassed. The building was converted from a
chapel in 1986 to a gallery without losing any of its architectural
beauty and atmosphere of serenity. This facility, the third for the
City of North Battleford's art collection, was officially opened June
9th, 1987. Named the Chapel Gallery in deference to the buildings spiritual
past, it is dedicated to being the finest possible showcase for the
arts in this community. The Chapel Gallery has 6,000 square feet of
floor space with 178 running feet in the main gallery and 150 running
feet in its ambulatory exhibition space. The Gallery is secured by a
monitored alarm system and carries an insurance policy on all exhibitions.
Windows in the Gallery are glazed to eliminate ultraviolet rays and
a computerized environmental system maintains temperature and humidity,
bringing the Gallery space up to national standards.
The Chapel Gallery hosts 10 gallery showings in its main gallery and
10 ambulatory showings yearly. A Curatorial Team is chosen annually
and charged with the responsibility of determining these exhibitions
under the leadership of the Gallery Curator. Artists who make submissions
will be advised of the Gallery’s decision as soon as possible after
the submissions deadline and/or curatorial team consultations. The gallery
provides CARFAC fees to exhibiting artists.
