The City of Toronto offers exhibition and residency opportunities at four city-operated cultural centres, two of them in Etobicoke: Assembly Hall and Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery.

The Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery has two exhibition spaces geared to visual artists. For the Centre’s Main Gallery, the call for submissions deadline is May 1 and invites applications from arts organizations and groups of four or more artists to exhibit in 2025. The Ascent Gallery invites exhibition submissions from early career artists as individuals or as part of a group to their annual deadline of July 15.

Assembly Hall, on the Humber College South Campus, is the only venue of the four to offer a Dance Residency. The call for applications for the 2025 to 2026 two-year residency will be issued in July 2024.

Assembly Hall Gallery also has an exhibition program that they invite submissions from artists for. Artists can submit either as individuals or as part of a group for exhibitions in all media and styles. The annual deadline is June 15.

For more information, application forms and additional opportunities, visit the City of Toronto website here.
