About ArtFest
ArtFest is an initiative at CFRUC to better engage surrounding community with the people of CFRUC and advances a long standing tradition of including the Arts both in our activities as a congregation but also in the use of our building. ArtFest is a five- week festival with theatre, dancers, musicians, writers, poets and visual artists. (see page 3) For this event, CFRUC seeks submissions from visual artists across several disciplines who wish to be considered through a committee selection process.
Artist Eligibility: Artists must reside in Manitoba
Number of pieces: We have no minimum number of pieces required (other than one) nor will we give an advantage to those who submit more.
Cost: No fees collected. No fees paid.
Selection Criteria
Artist applications will be considered on the basis of the following as made evident through a letter of interest and support materials:
- Interest in our theme of ‘The Road Less Taken’
- Suitability of the work to this event and to the collection as a whole
- Ready for hanging/display
Submission Format
Artist selection will be based on a written expression of interest and support material. Your submission should be no longer than two pages and is not meant to be onerous in any way. Shorter than two pages is just fine!
Please include the following in your letter:
- Brief description of your artistic practice
- Relevance to the theme of ‘The Road Less Taken’

Also, indicate if you wish to bring display equipment e.g., easel. (some will be available) If you wish to send a CV, please do so but it is not required.
Only pieces selected by ArtFest’s Selection Committee will be displayed Selection Process: A panel comprised of people with experience in art will review the applications and select a number of artists to become part of a roster.
It is anticipated that the initial selection process will take place in April 2017 with a response to you from the committee by April 10, 2017.
Security: CFRUC’s visual arts committee will be in attendance throughout the show and will safeguard the artwork to the best of their ability. The work will never be left unattended when the church is open, e.g. during Sunday worship.
Insurance: All property brought to CFRUC is the responsibility of the owner/exhibitor.
