How to exhibit at the Satellite Galleries
In addition to our main gallery, we are proud to offer two unique display opportunities for members, thanks to the generosity of the Town of Comox. The Comox Library provides a warm and inviting space for 10–12 small to medium artworks, while the Comox Community Centre features seven large, locked display cases in a high-traffic hallway, ideal for showcasing the work of one or more artists. Displays at both venues change every two months, and artists can replace sold pieces with new ones during their exhibition period.
There are no hanging fees, but artists are responsible for creating their own labels, and all work must be for sale. The Pearl Ellis Gallery facilitates sales from these venues for a 20% commission. These opportunities are open to all members, are not juried, and offer flexibility for individual artists or groups wishing to exhibit together.
To apply, please fill out the form below to secure your preferred time slot. Spaces fill quickly, but if your chosen time is unavailable, we will add your name to a waiting list for the next available opportunity.
