Call for submissions: deCoste Culture Hub Gallery 2025/2026 Exhibitions 

Creative Pictou County is facilitating the installation of individual artists and collectives in the gallery’s at the deCoste Culture Hub. The artist is responsible for installing their own work, with support by Creative Pictou County as needed. All sales will happen through the artist – labels and exhibition information must have artist contact information (if work is for sale).

Installation requirements

The hanging system at the deCoste Culture Hub uses suspended wire and hooks. Paintings and prints must be framed and frames must have wire on the back. For non-frameable works (such as textiles) Creative Pictou County will work with the chosen artist(s) to showcase the work.
