Urban Shaman (US) Exhibitions are selected according to two main criteria—the strength of the artistic merit and relevance to the broader understanding of contemporary Aboriginal art. With these goals in mind, we program a wide selection of contemporary artistic practices in diverse media including two and three dimensional works, new media, web and internet art, and performance-based projects. All artists are paid according to the CARFAC recommended fee schedule.
Art selection entails a rigorous review process by a committee made up of Board Members, guest artists, community representatives and/or curators as well as the gallery Director. The committee meets once a year to review submissions. Additionally, UA initiates community programming such as youth projects, an annual members exhibition, and special projects.
Proposals are accepted on a continual basis and submissions should be addressed to:
