Greater Victoria Regional Arts Awards returns to celebrate local artists and arts organizations

* Nomination deadline extended to end of day Monday, September 23, 2024

Victoria, Canada (June 22, 2024)—The seventh annual Greater Victoria Regional Arts Awards returns to celebrate and honour the diverse work of local artists and arts organizations from across the region over the last year.

A total of eight awards will be granted to local artists and organizations through the Professional Arts Alliance of Greater Victoria (ProArt) at the seventh annual regional arts awards ceremony to take place at a regional venue in October 2024.

“Arts and culture is an important part of what makes for an engaged and considerate life here on Lekwungen land. Recognition through the arts awards program is an excellent way to support the work that artists and arts organizations have produced in the past year. This is a great opportunity to come together as a community to acknowledge and celebrate arts and culture in the greater Victoria region,” says ProArt Administrator Doug Jarvis.

Artist Call-Out for October 5th MoCL Open House!

Artist Call-Out for October 5th MoCL Open House!

ART CALL OUT! Sit down, it’s time for an absurd intervention. We are seeking submissions for our upcoming October 5th Open House, in which all artists and organizations in our building will be buzzing with activity + open to the public!

What are we looking for? In short, weird us out. Bewilder us. NO REAL ART. We want that wacky idea you never thought a gallery would go for, the odd nonsensical invention you created that’s gathering dust in your garage, the project you told your friends about then decided against because they said something along the lines of, “Why would anyone want to do that?” We’re looking at YOU. Bonus points if your work is interactive.

So send on ur submissions to [email protected].

We cannot wait to be absolutely FLUMMOXED. Deadline for submissions is September 18th, 12AM.

Special thanks to @joanvvalentine for the idea!
