CALL FOR Membership ARTWORK
18th Annual 50 to 500 Art Show and Sale
Member’s art drop-off deadline, no extension: Friday, October 21, 2022
We are opening up our gallery once again for public viewing for the 18th annual member’s show! We welcome all current and new members, Indigenous and non, to showcase your artwork in celebration of you and the change in season. Sell from 50 cents to $500.00 (or more) and 100% of the sale goes to the artist. We do ask that artists become a member to boost our membership numbers; donations from the sale of the sold work would be greatly appreciated but not necessary. There is a special sliding scale rate from $10 to our regular cost of $25.00 a membership. Memberships will be collected during the drop-off of artwork with a signed contract to be a part of this wonderful event.
MULTIMEDIA ARTISTS & PERFORMERS LOOK!!!
This year Urban Shaman is accepting artists who wish to share their work in any medium. This means multi-media, performance (10 mins max), video, and audio art during the opening night on First Friday, November 4, 2022 – this is a great opportunity for artists working in these realms to showcase their work. Urban does not pay artists fees for this event but we are able to document the performance and give that in lieu as support material.

NOT AN ARTIST? WELL…You can still support Urban Shaman Contemporary Aboriginal Art Gallery by donating or becoming a member. Our year-round programming, in some ways, has been a benchmark for other organizations who may not focus year-round on Indigenous programming. In 1996 our gallery was founded by Indigenous artists who were underrepresented in Winnipeg, and since then Urban Shaman Gallery has worked with our art community locally, nationally and internationally with amazing Indigenous artists, allied organizations and we still continue to bring and support the voices of contemporary Indigenous work.
