Place des Arts is proud to showcase the work of local emerging artists and groups based in Metro Vancouver in our three public exhibition spaces: the Atrium, Mezzanine and Leonore Peyton Salon. Exhibitions change approximately every two months and opening receptions are typically held on the first day of each exhibition. Exhibitions are also available for viewing online one week after the exhibition opening.

Annual Calls for Artists

Each year, we release three calls for artists. One for our annual Positively Petite miniature exhibition, one for our upcoming exhibition season and one for our Community Exhibition. Watch this page and our social media channels for when submissions are open and for more details about applying to exhibit.
