2026 RISE EMERGING ARTIST PROGRAM

Are you in the early stages of your fine arts career (less than 5 years), have specialized training in your field (not necessarily gained in an academic institution), and have created a modest, independent body of work? This call for submission is open to all visual art disciplines, and applicants may apply as an individual or as part of a collective of artists.

The aim of RISE is to cultivate Alberta’s emerging artists by pairing an exhibition opportunity with mentorship by artist professionals. Participating artists will build experience in exhibition design, installation, marketing and business skills, and professional practice. This program strives to foster community awareness of contemporary arts and prepare emerging artists for a professional career in the arts.

Submission Deadline: Friday, October 3, 2025
