The mandate of the Cultural Centre Gallery is to exhibit the
broadest range of visual art or craft produced by Moose Jaw* and
region artists. This space is meant to provide a place for
artists
and arts groups to exhibit and showcase what the people of Moose
Jaw produce.

biographical detail about the artist or group of
artists, a list of the work that would be exhibited with titles,
sizes, medium and date.

How are Exhibitions Selected?
The staff at the Cultural Centre uses a checklist to evaluate
each exhibition proposal. If all the criteria are met, the staff
schedules the exhibition. Exhibitions are scheduled for 6 week
durations depending upon the time of year.
The staff will not make aesthetic judgments about the quality of
the art work proposed for exhibition. The staff will not
schedule exhibitions if there are issues relating to safety,
appropriateness of subject matter, or the amount of work
appropriate for the exhibition space. If there are additional
concerns about an exhibition then the staff will seek advice
from the Board of Directors Gallery Committee A Gallery
Committee will be organized to work in teams to help with the
hanging of the exhibitions, co-ordination of the opening
receptions and marketing of the exhibitions.

pay artists' fees. Sales of work during an exhibition or
directly resulting from an exhibition at the Cultural Centre
will be subject to a 30% commission fee. Frequency of
