This Gallery Survey contains the information on Alberta’s artistrun-centres, public and commercial galleries provided by those
that responded to our survey request. Although this survey
contains information on many of Alberta’s galleries, it is not
intended to be a complete listing and it is advisable for artists
to contact each gallery directly before making a submission.

The intent of this Gallery Survey is to provide Alberta’s
artists with a useful tool when planning their exhibition and
marketing strategies, in addition to giving Alberta galleries a
resource that they can give to artists – a valuable, time-saving
aid for both.
Every effort has been made to ensure that the information
herein is current and accurate, however, due to the suddenness
of changes in Alberta’s gallery community some items may
already be dated or incorrect. In addition to this, not every
gallery surveyed responded, so for non-responsive galleries we
have simply listed their name, address, phone number and fax
at the end of each section.
Other important items that artists should be aware of and
make inquiries about at each gallery are:





• Galleries charging rental or hanging fees
• Galleries specifying that work must be
professionally framed
• Additional charges for:
•
•
• Invitations
• Opening Receptions
• Mailing out of announcements
Insurance coverage and deductibles
Who pays deductible if work is stolen or
damaged
It is also important Alberta artists know that in 2007 the
Alberta Foundation for the Arts made it mandatory for
any public galleries or artist-run-centres receiving public
gallery funding to ‘contract with exhibiting artists and
provide professional artists’ fees according to copyright
legislation and schedules recommended by the Canadian
Artist Representation Copyright Collective (CARCC)’. For
additional information on the Copyright Fee Schedule go to
www.carcc.ca.
Visual Arts Alberta would like to thank all the galleries who
participated in this inaugural effort, in addition to the support
and assistance of CARFAC Saskatchewan.

Notes
The Manitoba Gallery Survey was conducted during the summers of 2010
and 2011. Artist run centres, public, private and commercial spaces were
all approached to participate in the survey. The survey is intended to
function as an information resource for artists across Canada to gain
information on potential exhibition spaces.
CARFAC encourages all artists to use written contracts stipulating the
terms of each of their dealings and exhibitions with galleries, artist run
centres and non gallery exhibition spaces. CARFAC is not liable for any
problems that may stem from the use of this survey. Artists are
encouraged to verify any information or questions they may have about a
specific gallery, with the gallery in question as information is subject to
change without notification or change to the survey. Additional
information about artists fees and copyright can be found at
www.carfac.ca as well as www.carcc.ca.
The survey is not a complete listing of all galleries and artist run centres
with in Manitoba, the survey is comprised of galleries who chose to
respond to CARFAC when approached to participate.
CARFAC National would like to thank all of the galleries who took the time
to participate in the survey and continue to support our efforts.

The CARFAC Maritimes Gallery Survey contains information on artist-run centres, public, commercial, school & university galleries, art centres and
co-op galleries throughout the Maritime Provinces:
New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
Artists may find this guide useful when planning their
marketing strategies and deciding where and how to
submit their work for exhibition and/or sale. It is also a
beneficial tool for galleries, dealers, government agencies, collectors and the general public when assessing
the market and finding a source for the artwork created
in our provinces.
This survey is not intended as a complete list
of where art is exhibited and/or sold in the Maritimes.
Only those spaces that have a clearly defined exhibition
space suitable for hanging and exhibiting of art works
were included. Not all galleries chose to be included in
this survey.
Artists are reminded to read all contracts carefully and ask questions about who is responsible to pay
for what (invitations, opening receptions, mailing of
announcements, framing costs, etc.). In addition, artists
are advised to check with galleries regarding insurance
coverage, all risks coverage and payment of insurance
deductibles if the work is lost, stolen or damaged.
Canadian copyright law gives artists the right
to receive payment for works exhibited in public galleries (exhibition fees and/or artists’ fees). More information on the current exhibition fee schedule is available
from CARFAC National offices at http://www.carcc.ca/
feeschedules.html

Notes
Every effort has been made to ensure that
the information in this survey is accurate; however,
we advise artists to talk to the galleries directly
before making submissions. Changes in the Maritimes’ art community can happen at any time and
it is beneficial to confirm the requirements of each
gallery so all parties can work together with full
satisfaction of the agreements.
The survey is available in electronic form at the
CARFAC Maritimes website:
www.carfacmaritimes.org
CARFAC Maritimes would like to sincerely
thank the galleries and people who participated

Notes
The Ontario Gallery Survey was conducted during the summers of 2010
and 2011. Artist run centres, public, private and commercial spaces were
all approached to participate in the survey. The survey is intended to
function as an information resource for artists across Canada to gain
information on potential exhibition spaces.
CARFAC encourages all artists to use written contracts stipulating the
terms of each of their dealings and exhibitions with galleries, artist run
centres and non gallery exhibition spaces. CARFAC is not liable for any
problems that may stem from the use of this survey. Artists are
encouraged to verify any information or questions they may have about a
specific gallery, with the gallery in question as information is subject to
change without notification or change to the survey. Additional
information about artists fees and copyright can be found at
www.carfac.ca as well as www.carcc.ca.
The survey is not a complete listing of all galleries and artist run centres
with in Ontario, the survey is comprised of galleries who chose to respond
to CARFAC when approached to participate. Galleries were asked to
respond in the language of their choosing.
CARFAC National would like to thank all of the galleries who took the time
to participate in the survey and continue to support our efforts.

Mission, Origins and Structure of The Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
When The Robert McLaughlin Gallery was founded in 1967 the mandate
stressed collection, preservation, and conservation of fine art, particularly
Canadian, as well as exhibition of collection and interpretation through
educational programming. The Gallery’s founders ensured that The
Gallery’s resources be available for research, and that the Gallery’s
mission serve the educational, intellectual, and aesthetic needs of the
community both locally and nationally. In the early years the mandate
was strengthened by focusing on contemporary visual art within the
context of Canadian modern art, especially Painters Eleven.
The Gallery accomplishes its mission through exhibitions, educational
outreach, and community programming. We tell the continuing story of
Canadian art and provide challenging art experiences, formal and
informal, through exhibitions and education for all ages. We strive to
actively engage the community in the wider possibilities of meaning and
enjoyment in art.
The Gallery grew from th inspired response of Oshawa designer William
Caldwell to an exhibition of work by local artists. He organized the artists to
establish a gallery in a commercial space on Simcoe Street North. Shortly
thereafter Ewart McLaughlin and his wife Margaret (painter Alexandra
Luke) offered major financial support and works from her collection
toward the establishment of an expanded public art gallery for the City.
Luke was an important artist linked to the beginnings of abstract painting
in Canada and a founding member of Painters Eleven. The Gallery was
incorporated with the name of Robert, founder of the McLaughlin
Carriage Company, grandfather of Ewart, and father of Col. R. S. (Sam)
McLaughlin (General Motors of Canada). Although a very successful
businessman, Robert had a lifelong enthusiasm for art and was a devoted
amateur painter. His granddaughter Isabel was a significant Canadian
artist and a great friend of the Gallery. She was a founding member of the
Canadian Group of Painters and an inspiration to many other artists.
Although The Gallery has national and provincial reach in its collection
and programming, its beginnings are rooted in the aspirations of local
artists and it has maintained a commitment to the regional artistic
community.
107
The Gallery is independently incorporated, governed by an elected
Board of Trustees, operating with professional staff and volunteers in a
City-owned facility designed by Canadian architect Arthur Erickson.
Support is provided by a mixture of sources including the City of Oshawa,
the Ontario Arts Council, The Canada Council for the Arts, Department of
Canadian Heritage-Museum Assistance Program, and the RMG Volunteer
Committee.

At the W.K.P. Kennedy Public Art Gallery we are bringing people and the
arts together, enriching the cultural life of the community through visual
arts programming in all media, fostering artistic development, educating
arts and cultural audiences, and promoting the art and artists of Northern
Ontario.
Opened in 1987 as a Public Gallery housed in the North Bay Arts Centre
complex, the W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery is named after one of our city's
forefathers. The Kennedy family established an endowment fund to assist
our Education Program in 1990. The Gallery is registered as a non-profit
charitable organization under the name, North Bay Theatre and Arts
Community Centre. Shortly after the Gallery was established, a bequest of
historical artworks was donated to form the base of our Permanent
Collection. Since then, our collection has grown to include artists working
in many media from all across Northern and Southern Ontario. In 1997, the
Arts Centre, of which the Kennedy Gallery is a part, changed its name to
the Capitol Centre to indicate a change in focus for the complex. We
were intent upon becoming a regional locus for the arts, a place that
offered cultural events to audiences from cities and towns throughout
Northeastern Ontario. In 1998-99, with public donations and funding from
the Museum Assistance Program, the Gallery upgraded its Permanent
Collection Storage and Conservation Facility.
From 2004 to the present the Kennedy Gallery has developed a strong
contemporary exhibition and touring program. For 2007-2008 our touring
exhibitions program included: Corporate Wasteland (an international
exhibition of contemporary photography), The Temagami Angele Project,
which started on June 1st , 2007, and ran until mid-October (for this group
exhibition the Kennedy Gallery installed the exhibit, organized multiple
“satellite” events and produced a catalogue), Autoshow (a group
exhibition that includes three artists from our region) and Sequential Desire
(a multi-media group exhibition from emerging Ontario artists). In recent
years we have also become known for our site-specific art event entitled
Ice Follies and for various “public” art events and exhibits (Camera
Frontera, Show us Your Shorts Film Festival, Routes and Rhythms
Performance Series, etc.). The Gallery is also now presenting a full program
of educational classes, workshops, and mentor sessions.
113
Artists who are interested in applying for an exhibition in the W.K.P.
Kennedy Gallery should provide a proposal package for the
consideration of the Director/Curator.
The package should include fifteen to twenty images of current work, a
corresponding documentation sheet, and a curriculum vitae. As well you
may provide an exhibition proposal. (e.g. If you plan to exhibit work based
on a particular theme, or a collaborative exhibition, multi-media, etc....), a
brief artist's statement, reviews and catalogues from previous exhibitions.
You should also include a stamped, self-addressed envelope for the return
mail.
The W.K.P. Kennedy Gallery serves its community by providing a balanced
program of contemporary and historical art. Programming is planned
approximately twelve to eighteen months in advance.

MISSION:
White Water Gallery is committed to the professional presentation of
contemporary visual artists who are breaking new ground at the leading

MANDATE:
To develop a programming space that promotes artistic development
and progressive initiatives by visual, media, literary, and experimental
artists. As a regional arts centre White Water Gallery recognizes its need to
serve a diverse group of artists and arts practitioners. In 2008 the White
Water Gallery reviewed and expanded its mandate, and established that
it would continue to aid artists at varying levels in their careers by
addressing their needs in several different ways:
1. Student Artists: Students will be exposed to, and able to participate in
the assembly of a variety of exhibitions from established artists from across
Canada. They will gain arts administration knowledge and curatorial skills
by experiencing hands-on how an exhibition is organized and developed
from beginning to end.
2. Emerging/new-generation Artists: The White Water Gallery pays full
CARFAC approved rates to all exhibitions selected by the programming
committee. Additionally, the White Water Gallery hosts a series of juried,
group & member’s shows throughout the year. Artists that are prepared to
start exhibiting their work will have the opportunity to start building their
Artist Curriculum Vitae through participation in these shows. Emerging
Artists that apply for solo exhibitions will receive the same consideration as
mid-career and established artists from the White Water Gallery’s
programming selection committee.
3. Mid-Career & Established Artists: The White Water Gallery pays full
CARFAC approved rates to all exhibitions selected by the programming
committee. Additionally, the White Water Gallery will be hosting yearly

Founded in 1977, the White Water Gallery has played a leading role in the
promotion and dissemination of contemporary visual art and culture, both
locally and nationally. As a not-for-profit artist-run centre, the Gallery aims
to facilitate a diverse range of artistic programming. We offer the use of a
dedicated exhibition space, audio-video equipment for time-based
projects, as well as the support of our members and volunteers. We also
encourage initiatives that seek to expand our programming beyond the
gallery space, and welcome proposals for site-specific projects.
Selection Process: The programming committee reviews submissions
following the two annual deadlines: May 30th and Oct 1st.
Exhibitions run for approximately four weeks. The White Water Gallery pays
exhibition fees to participating artists in accordance with CARFAC.
All submissions must include:
- Artist’s CV
- One page Artist or Curatorial Statement
- One page project description, outlining the scope of the project and
any specific requirements (spatial, technical, time of year, etc
- Support material: max. 10 slides or jpegs on CD; max. one VHS or DVD
- Descriptive list for visual material (title, date, dimensions, medium)
- SASE (self addressed stamped envelope)
White Water Gallery is not responsible for lost or damaged submissions. Do
not send original slides, artwork or master tapes. E-mailed submissions will
not be accepted. The White Water Gallery encourages artists to submit
exhibition proposals twice a year. These proposals are viewed by a
programming committee of professional artists and arts professionals and
current board members. They make recommendations to the board on
which events and exhibitions should be pursued. Emphasis is given to
innovative, stimulating and well executed work, as well as work that
encourages diverse outlooks culturally, generationally and artistically.

Notes
The Saskatchewan Gallery Survey 2009 - 2012
contains information on artist-run centres,
public and commercial galleries in Saskatchewan. We hope that artists will find this guide
useful when planning their marketing strategies and deciding where and how to submit
their work for exhibition or sale.
It is important to note that written contracts
must now be used in all cases.
The Saskatchewan Arts Professions Act requires a written contract between artists and
engagers. The contract must include specific basic elements which are detailed in the
Checklist For Written Contracts, provided by
the Ministry of Tourism, Parks, Culture and
Sport (see page 6 and 7).
Contract templates are available online at
www.carfac.sk.ca or CARFAC SASK offices.
Artists are reminded to read all contracts
carefully and ask questions about who is
responsible for what and who will pay for what
(invitations, opening receptions, mailing of
announcements, framing costs, etc). In addition, artists are advised to check with galleries
regarding insurance coverage, all risks coverage
and payment of insurance deductibles if the
work is lost, stolen or damaged.
Artists should be aware that Canadian copyright law gives artists the right to receive
payment for works exhibited in public galleries
(exhibition fees / artist’s fees). The CARFAC
Recommended Minimum Copyright Fee Schedule is available on-line at www.carcc.ca or from
CARFAC Offices. Other associated information
on copyright is also available from CARFAC
Offices.

This survey is not intended as a complete
listing of all places where art is exhibited and
sold in Saskatchewan. Only those spaces that
have a clearly defined exhibition space suitable
for the hanging and exhibiting of art works
were included. This edition also includes some
Saskatchewan rural galleries which regularly
exhibit works from OSAC’s traveling shows and
others which are educational, private or commercial exhibition spaces.
Every effort has been made to ensure that
the information contained herein is accurate;
however, we advise artists to consult with
the galleries directly to confirm their requirements before making submissions, as changes
in Saskatchewan’s art community can occur
suddenly.
Only a limited number of copies of this survey
were printed. Electronic copies of this survey
and further information about Alternative
Exhibition Spaces is available on line in the
Members’ Area of the CARFAC SASK website
www.carfac.sk.ca.
CARFAC SASK would like to extend special
thanks to the galleries who participated in the
survey and who continue to support our efforts
to collect and distribute this information to
visual artists.

Check List for Written
Contracts - June 2009
Provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of
Tourism, Parks, Culture and Sport
www.tpcs.gov.sk.ca/contract-checklist
The Arts Professions Act increases protection
for artists and their intellectual property by
requiring written contracts between those
who engage the services of artists and the
artists themselves. The legislation requires the
following basic elements be included in each
contract:
• the legal names of the engager and the professional artist;
• the effective date of the contract;
• the work, production or enterprise that
forms the object of the contract;
• the financial consideration due to the professional artist and the terms and conditions of
payment, including the date of the delivery
of the work or production or the conduct of
the enterprise and the date of the delivery of
payment;
• the frequency with which the engager
shall report to the professional artist on the
transactions made with respect to the work,
production or enterprise that is subject to the
contract and for which financial consideration
remains owing after the contract is entered
into;
• the notice and, if applicable, the compensation required if either the engager or the professional artist terminates the contract before
its completion;
• dispute resolution mechanisms;
• any transfer of right and any grant of licence
consented to by the professional artist, including:
6
a. the purposes of the transfer of right or grant
of licence;
b. the term of the transfer of right or grant of
licence; and
c. the jurisdiction in which the transfer of right
or grant of licence applies;
• whether any licence granted to an engager is
transferable to a third party;
• any limitations on the use of the work or production or the conduct of the enterprise;
• if applicable, any waiver of moral rights
within the meaning of section 14.1 of The
Copyright Act (Canada); and
• in the case of a contract between an engager and an Aboriginal professional artist,
the protocols respecting the use of Aboriginal
symbols or artifacts or matters of importance
to Aboriginal people.
Additional Check List for
Written Contracts
If a written contract entered into reserves an
exclusive right of the engager over any future
use of the work or production of the professional artist, the contract must include the
following elements in addition to the elements
listed above:
• a description of the work or production;
• a description of the process that the professional artist must follow to terminate the contract after the expiration of a specified period;
• a date on which any exclusive right of the
engager over any future use of the work or
production of the professional artist or any
right of the engager to the work or production
expires; and
• any additional elements prescribed in the
regulations (at this time there are none).

Minimum Copyright
Fee Schedule
Since 1968 and approximately every two years,
CARFAC has issued its copyright use fee schedules. These schedules were developed from
rates established by Jack Chambers and Tony
Urquhart in 1968, rates previously negotiated
by CARCC (CARFAC’s copyright collective), and
increases in the cost of living. This schedule,
released in advance of effective dates to accommodate budgeting, is effective 01 January
of the calendar year.
The published schedule contains ranges
of rates in some areas. All fees are considered minimum payments for the use of the
copyrights and/or the professional services
of visual/media artists. Copyright use fee and
royalties are subject to GST. The CARFAC fees
do not include GST.
CARFAC (an artist-run organization founded in
1968 by artists for artists) is the federally certified representative organization of professional
visual and media artists in Canada. As such,
CARFAC is obligated to represent the interests
of all visual/media artists in Canada and to
establish the standards and fee scales within
this sector. CARFAC’s founding principle and
continued area of concern is that the artists,
like professionals in other fields, be paid fairly
for their creative output and services.
CARCC (Canadian Artists Representation
Copyright Collective Inc), founded by CARFAC
in 1990 to assist artists in administering their
copyrights, is a logical extension of CARFAC’s
founding principles. CARCC provides its services to the members of the collective. These
services include the negotiation of terms and
the licensing of copyright use. All users of
CARCC members’ copyrights must obtain a
license for use.
