This! is Canada – Virtual Gallery

Experiences Canada’s This! Is Canada – Virtual Art Gallery provides a space for youth to express themselves through art and share their talents with the rest of the country. The gallery highlights the incredible talent, resilience, leadership and diversity of our country’s young people from coast-to-coast-to-coast!

 

We are excited to announce a new online gallery! This year’s theme is “Feels Like Home” where we invite youth to submit art (in any medium) that represents what makes them feel like home. Whether it be friendships, family, culture, or a specific place or community that makes you feel at home – we want to see it!

 

Gallery submissions are open to youth 12-25, and we will be accepting submissions until June 12, 2022

Submit your art today!

Youth between the ages of 12-25 are invited to submit their artwork to be featured in our virtual art gallery this summer. Art should follow the theme ‘Feels Like Home’ and feature representations of what makes them feel at home; whether it be friendships, family, culture, or a specific place or community. Artwork is encouraged from all different mediums (painting, sculpting, drawing, printmaking, photography, beading, poetry, etc.).

All youth who submit artwork will be added to a draw to win one of 8 $25 gift cards. At the end of the submission period, all artworks will be reviewed by our team of volunteer judges who will select 3 pieces in each age category to receive the Gallery Award.
