The City offers variety of artist residencies and gallery programs designed to help artists advance their practices, develop skills and share their talents with local communities and the public. The City of Toronto’s Cultural Centres and Galleries are dedicated to engaging and supporting Toronto-based artists from equity-deserving communities.
The Public Gallery Program includes five City-operated public galleries. Recent updates to the the program are aligned with CARFAC (Canadian Artists’ Representation / Le Front des Artistes Canadiens) 
guidelines and are designed to increase equitable access to the City’s cultural spaces and elevate support for artists, while advancing some of the key objectives of the City’s Culture Connects: An Action Plan for Culture in Toronto.
Priority will be given to Toronto-based artists working or living in Toronto. Artists who have exhibited at a City of Toronto public gallery at Assembly Hall, Cedar Ridge Creative Centre, Clark Centre for the Arts or the two galleries at the Etobicoke Civic Centre, are not eligible to be considered for an exhibition at another gallery site in the following year.
All works submitted for consideration must conform to the City of Toronto Human Rights and Anti-Harassment/Discrimination Policy and be suitable for a general audience.
Various opportunities with deadlines including August 15 and September 4.
