Opening May 17 for the 2025 season! Please join us for the opening reception, 5-8pm.
The Wolfe Island Gallery is a curated fine art and fine craft gallery in the picturesque village of Marysville, collectively run by a community of visual artists and friends on the Frontenac Islands. The WIG promotes the islands’ vibrant art presence as a meeting place to mentor and develop creativity.
All submissions will be juried by the gallery curator(s).
A connection to the Frontenac Islands will be an important consideration but is not required.
Works must be original fine arts, sculpture, or fine crafts.
All works must be display ready (hanging works require D rings and wire)
SUBMISSION SPECIFICATIONS:
Name and contact information (phone, mailing address, email address, website URL).
A brief (150 word max.) artist bio and statement which includes connection to the islands (if applicable) and description of work that includes materials used and approximate sizes.
Send three to five images of sample work completed within the last two years in jpeg or png format with your name, title of work, approximate size and medium and expected price in the file name. (eg: Nancy Steele, “Sunny Morning”, 8"x10" Oil on board, $250). The work must be representative of what you would like to show in the gallery. If you have a work in progress, please send a short description.
E-mail your submissions to wolfeislandgallery@gmail.com
By submitting your images, you consent to their use in WIG promotion (if you are accepted for the season), including social media.
