KINGSTON JURIED ART EXHIBITION 2025
Submission window: September 26 – October 19, 2025
Artists working in photography, painting, digital media, sculpture, installation, performance, and more are invited to submit up to three original works for consideration in a professionally juried group exhibition taking place this November in Kingston. Submissions are open to creators aged 18 and older who reside in Kingston, Wolfe Island, or the surrounding counties of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington, Leeds and Grenville, or Hastings. A panel of respected professionals working in the arts will select a shortlist of standout works. Jurors will be announced in the coming weeks.
This is a unique opportunity for emerging and established artists to gain significant exposure through a juried exhibition in Kingston. Selected works will be featured in a month-long group show, reviewed by professionals in the arts, and considered for a series of prizes including a solo exhibition and Grand Theatre ticket packages.
