Guidelines

 Artists, please ensure your work follows the LAC's definition of an 'Original Artwork'

Original artwork is created at the hand of the artist who is submitting the work. The creation process must be the effort of a single individual to convey their own personal interpretation of an image, multiple images, or a subject. Submitting artists are allowed to use reference photos to inspire their work, but artists must use their own design and composition for the final artwork to be considered original.

 Artisans, please ensure your work follows the LAC's acceptance criteria. 
We are looking for makers of all sorts, textile artists, ceramicists, soapers, card makers, and more. Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We are looking for work that is creative, innovative, cohesive, and respectful of other cultures, and copyright laws.

 Artworks submitted to the Langley Arts Council must not have been created at an art class, lesson, or paint night.

 Artists applying to the LAC Gift Shop must reside in B.C. Canada and any outsourcing done to create this work must be done within Canada.


Additional Information

 Submitting Artists/Artisans do not need to be a member of the LAC, however, if they are chosen for the Gift Shop they will need to be a member at the time their works are showcased. 

 Each Artist/Artisan is invited to submit up to 8 works for consideration for the Gift Shop through the digital application below. Please note, the LAC may not accept all 8 works for the Gift Shop.
