The Exhibition Support Program (ESP) is an initiative designed to support local artists by providing opportunities to exhibit their artworks in City of Brampton facilities.
Artists participating in this program will be compensated at CARFAC rates for exhibiting their work or a materials fee for creating new, site-specific work. Cultural Services will support all exhibition requirements, including providing didactic labels and supporting the installation process. This program aims to provide meaningful support for local artists and enhance public spaces with engaging visual art.
Accepted Artwork:
All forms of artwork will be considered for display. While flat works and works on canvas are easy to display, we are very interested in promoting other forms of art, including but not limited to:
- Textiles
- Ceramics and Pottery
- 3D Printed Works
- Sculptures
- Multi-media
- Woodworking and Carvings
- Literature
How It Works
Artists will be selected through an open call to display their artwork at various City of Brampton locations. Each selected artist will receive:
- A chance to exhibit in prominent, public-facing spaces
- Payment at CARFAC rates for exhibition or creation of work
- Support from Cultural Services for all exhibition requirements, including didactic labels and installation
Eligibility:
- Open to local artists currently residing in Brampton
- Artwork must be suitable for public display
- Artists must be able to loan their artwork for the duration of the exhibition
Stay tuned for a call to artists.
