CONNECTOR JOB BOARD “Connecting Employee’s to Employers”

From January 1st to April 15th:

Burns Lake Museum Society now accepting proposals

from local and regional artists to exhibit their work

at The Heritage Gallery in Burns Lake

The Burns Lake Museum Society is now accepting proposals from local or regional artists to exhibit their work from June to September 2026.

Feel you're not ready for a one-person show? Only have one or two pieces available? You can always share space with other artists. Not a painter? Doesn't matter - the Heritage Gallery has displayed everything from sculpture to fabric art! Or you might consider exhibiting at Arts August (August 2026), an event that accepts one or more pieces of art by local and regional artists in any medium on any subject matter.

So what are you waiting for? The application process is simple, there are no exhibition fees, and you can sell your work on commission during the event!

Share your passion, talent, and vision with the community and become one of more than 50 creators who have displayed their work in the Heritage Gallery since its creation in 2020!

For more information and to receive a copy of the exhibition proposal package, contact the Burns Lake Museum by e-mail: ldmuseumsociety@gmail.com
