Black Water Art is a metaphor for the conceptual transition from one space to another. This event transforms the White Water Gallery Artist-Run Centre into a commercial venue for a period of two weeks each January. During this time artwork will be installed in a salon style exhibition and sold on site. 100% of each sale goes directly to the artist making this a unique commercial opportunity for participants.

One piece per artist will be accepted in any medium (spatial and technical restrictions may apply). Works are restricted to a maximum of 24 x 24 inches (or 24 x 24 x 24 inches for 3-dimensional pieces).

Sales will be facilitated by the White Water Gallery based upon the prices set by the artists themselves. Monies received by the Gallery from the sale of artwork will be sent to the artist by cheque (please specify payee if different from the name on the submission form).
