Call to Artists

The Stack Gallery: Inclusion

Within the Orillia Recreation Centre, the City of Orillia has a gallery wall for rotating exhibits curated by the Art in Public Places Committee. The theme for the upcoming exhibit is ‘Inclusion’, and challenges artists to consider what this term means to them through an artistic and creative lens. The notion of “inclusion” is the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized. Through this upcoming exhibit, both the Art in Public Places Committee and the Inclusive Orillia Committee invite artists to think critically about what it means to be inclusive as individuals and in the community. Artists looking to be featured in the gallery are invited to interpret this theme, either through new or existing original works of art.

The call is open to those who work or reside in the City of Orillia, Chippewas of Rama First Nation, or the Townships of Oro-Medonte, Severn, or Ramara. The deadline for submissions is May 3, 2024. The exhibit will run from June to December 2024.
