Opportunities for Artists
2025 / 2026 Call for Artists
At VISAC, we are passionate about supporting artists at any stage of their career. We offer many opportunities for artists to exhibit their work, expand their skills and participate in community events.
We are currently planning our 2025/2026 exhibition schedule. If you are an artist located in the Columbia Basin, we welcome you to express your interest in exhibiting.

Members Salon
Our 2024 Members Salon included over 70 pieces of artwork, submitted by 27 artists.
The Salon is a celebration of the immense talent of local visual artists. We are so inspired by the skill and variety of the artists who call the West Kootenay region home and are excited to share this work with the public and folks who might not otherwise be able to experience art in this way.
As a community-based gallery, we play an essential role in supporting and promoting emerging and established artists in the West Kootenay region. We foster emerging talent, assist in providing greater recognition for more established artists, and offer viewers a new way of experiencing art.
Bailey Lounge
Located on the 2nd floor of Selkirk College in Trail. This exhibition space is great for smaller bodies of work, and is enjoyed by Selkirk College staff, visitors, and theatre patrons.
