updates on the exhibition to follow…
Oxygen Art Centre is currently accepting applications from regionally based artists working in all mediums and at all stages of their careers to participate in the 2025 Members’ Show. Artists are invited to apply before the deadline of Sunday, May 14, 2025, at 12 AM Midnight to participate.
The application can be completed online through Google Forms. Please contact info@oxygenartcentre.org with any support or questions about how to participate.
To participate, artists must submit a $20 participation fee and be an Oxygen Member in good standing. Memberships are $2/$5/$10 ea. and directly support the artist-run centre. Not a member yet? Need to renew? Become a member quickly before applying. Proceeds from the Members’ Show go directly toward Oxygen Art Centre’s operations. This exhibition supports our capacity to program exhibitions, offer art classes, and promote dialogue amongst our arts communities.
Artists are invited to submit one (1) artwork in any size or media; however, smaller two-dimensional works are encouraged. Works should arrive ready to hang or install. Oxygen has a limited number of plinths, so three-dimensional works might need alternate plans for presentation to be arranged with the centre. To include video works in a looping compilation, please send your video file directly to info@oxygenartcentre.org.
The Members’ Show is a great way for artists in the community to connect and develop new audiences while offering an entry point into the practices of artists in the region.
Artists can drop-off their work on Friday, May 9, 2025, or Saturday, May 10, 2025, between 1:00pm and 5:00pm at Oxygen Art Centre.
The public are invited to celebrate their artistic community at the Members’ Show Opening Reception on Saturday, May 17, 2025, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the artist-run centre’s facility in downtown Nelson, BC. Refreshments and snacks will be provided.
