THE VENUE
Located at 811 Main Street, the Capitol Theatre is a restored heritage property and operates as a multi-purpose arts centre. Upwards of 100,000 patrons visit the Capitol annually to attend a wide variety of performances and events, making it an ideal location to showcase regional visual artists. Selected works will be exhibited in a space measuring approximately 50 ft x 5 ft.

The Capitol Theatre Art Gallery operates as a public exhibition space and, as such, artists assume all liability for possible damage incurred to works. The Capitol Theatre pays a professional artist fee of $1,000 in accordance with CARFAC standards, and retains no commission on the sale of artworks. Transposition costs will not be absorbed. The Capitol hosts an art opening/vernissage and markets the exhibit through earned media, press releases, social media, posters, Marquee, etc.

SUBMISSION PROCESS
Professional submissions must be for two dimensional work, and may incorporate the following mediums: print, textile, painting, drawing, photography. Selected works must be gallery-ready, conform to professional exhibition space limitations, and be available for the entire display period.

SELECTION
The Capitol Theatre is committed to equitable practices in selecting artists so that we shall have more equitable representation across communities - including Indigenous, Black, racialized, LGBTQ+, disability and mad arts communities.

Preference will also be given to works not recently shown in the Greater Moncton area. New and emerging professional artists are encouraged to apply. Detailed information regarding installation procedures and exhibit periods, promotion of exhibitions, and vernissages will be made available once artists have been selected.

Applications will be considered by a peer jury and evaluated on the basis of artistic merit, originality, cohesiveness and professionalism of the suggested exhibit, audience appeal, and logistics.

The jury is supported by Capitol Theatre staff. They are:

• Denise Auffrey
• Paul Édouard Bourque
• Raymonde Fortin
• Georges Goguen
• Nancy King-Schofield
• Annie-France Noël
• Christine Comeau

The jury meets to set the exhibit schedule for the following year, usually at the beginning of July. All artists receive an acknowledgement of receipt of their submission. Successful candidates will be notified by email and provided exhibit instructions. Selected works will be displayed for a period of two consecutive months in the Capitol Theatre Art Gallery. The stipend is paid at the beginning of the exhibit.
