For all artists interested in showing work at upcoming exhibitions: Start getting a body of work together now, ideally with some sort of loose similarity of style. Get your pieces ready to present...all hanging hardware installed, framing/matting, price tags, update your g-m profile with the work and prices, etc.

The only real requirement for the shows is that the work must be a bit edgy...not interested in showing still life, landscape, traditional realism, etc. Although there will be shows with a more classical art theme every once and a while...there are already plenty of galleries showing that type of work.

If you are planning on prepping a body of work for an upcoming show, msg me so we can meet up and I can properly promote your exhibition.

Awesome, thanks for describing what you are looking for. Keep me updated when there is a show that might work with a more classical theme. Though, I do think classical can be very edgy, if done correctly.

Yes! and yes!

I'm going to go ahead and offer Mon Ami up to host something like this...but I think our next opening on the artist list is July-ish...and I want to see another one of these happen sooner than that- so yeah...maybe the 4th or 5th collaborative event can happen at Mon Ami!

But anyhoo...hmmm...themes...it would be neat to have a really organized single art piece that all of the visual artists work together on- like individual panels...and then at the show they get hung up to create one giant piece...like a big street scene of fourth plain...or hell...lets just have a collaborative show of actual places in vancouver...cook's choice...everyone picks their own place in vancouver...i think that would be fun to look at...but I don't know how to make that more "collaborative"...argh...this is tough...

I love that idea, and a few months notice gives artists plenty of time to get prepared for it. I would love to paint one of my favorite places in the 'Couve and be part of a collab project set for this summer.
