Galerie Annexe Submissions
GALERIE ANNEXE SUBMISSIONS:
Celebrating the vitality of the arts and cultural sector in the Ottawa-Gatineau region, Galerie Annexe promotes artists working within this area through the rental, sale, and exhibition of their artwork. Galerie Annexe is located on level 1 of the Ottawa Art Gallery, accessible from the Mackenzie King entrance.
Although Galerie Annexe is not a commercial dealer, we work with artists and partners to support the practice of regional artists by:
- Consigning new artwork on a rotating basis, through an open submission process
- Working in partnership with independent commercial galleries that kindly provide their represented artists to Galerie Annexe in order to share resources and better promote artists in our region. These galleries include Galerie St-Laurent Hill; L. A. Pai Gallery; Sivarulrasa Gallery; Studio Sixty Six and Wall Space Gallery.
Consigned works not currently on display in Galerie Annexe or other dedicated wall space in the building, are stored in our vault and remain available for purchase and viewing via our online database or by appointment.
Revenues from the Galerie Annexe support artists and the Ottawa Art Gallery programming.
