Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour: Emerging Artists Hub
In celebration of our 40th Anniversary in 2024, we have developed a special project for the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour. This pop-up space, located at the Peterborough Public Library, will feature emerging local artists and craft makers working across a range of media and styles, who may face barriers to access the studio tour as artists.
About the Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour:
The Peterborough-Kawarthas region is rich with talented artists practicing in a range of styles and media. The Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour offers the public a chance to view art in the working spaces of artists, while artists get the opportunity to share their practice, connect with potential supporters, and promote their work. The two-day Kawartha Autumn Studio Tour is self-driven, and admission is free. The AGP also mounts a supporting exhibition to preview the outstanding quality, spirit, and variety of artists on the Studio Tour.

Exhibition Opportunities For Artists
We accept exhibition submissions on an ongoing basis from artists and guest curators for the main and ramp galleries. Follow this link to submit your exhibition proposal via Submittable. Exhibitions are reviewed on an on-going basis and the process can take time. We recognize and appreciate the work required to prepare submissions. Studio visits may be part of the selection process.
Selected artists are supported in the development of their exhibition by the Curator and provided contracts, CARFAC fees that meet or exceed minimums, letters of support for funding applications, fine art shipping, insurance, travel, hospitality, hotel, promotional materials, and documentation. Artists are encouraged to be involved in the exhibition installation plan which is completed by a trained professional installation crew.
We present approximately 16 exhibitions per year: 4 are developed for the main gallery, 8 for the ramp galleries, and 4 from the Permanent Collection.
The AGP strives to reflect the whole of our community through our programs and operations. We continue to seek major exhibitions and projects that engage and support the work of BIPOC artists, curators and performers.
