Local and central Alberta artists have an opportunity to share their work with the community as Viewpoint Gallery and Corridor Community Gallery open their ‘Call to Artists’ for exhibition proposals. Both galleries are City of Red Deer-run exhibition spaces that provide exhibition opportunities for artists and curators from diverse artistic backgrounds and experience levels working in visual art media.

Viewpoint Gallery, located in the former Intermediate School at 5205 48 Avenue in downtown Red Deer, offers 875 square feet of exhibition space and 80 linear feet for hanging. Exhibitions typically run two to three months. This is an adjudicated gallery, with proposals reviewed by community art leaders and representatives from The City of Red Deer. Exhibiting artists receive an honorarium based on CARFAC’s Fee Schedule for Exhibitions in Other Public Spaces.

Successful proposals will be programmed into one remaining exhibition spot in 2026 and throughout 2027.
