Forum Art Centre

The Forum Art Centre Student Art Show is next Friday, June 12th and artwork drop-off starts tomorrow, June 4th! Anyone who took a class at Forum Art Centre between Fall 2025 – Spring 2026 is invited to participate. All ages are welcome.

How to participate?
A maximum of 3 pieces per student can be dropped off during office and class hours from: Thursday June 4 - Wednesday June 10

All works (except ceramics) need to be ready to hang. this means there is hardware installed on the back of your work that allows it to be easily hung on our wall grids from one of the white metal hooks. The student’s first and last names need to be written clearly on the back of every work dropped off.

What happens at artwork drop off?
Students will fill out provided artwork labels, which include the artist’s name, title/medium/year of the piece, course it was made in, instructor, and indicate if the piece is for sale by the artist.

Selling Artwork
Forum Art Centre will not be facilitating any sales of student artwork. Any art sales will be solely between the artist and the purchaser. Forum Art Centre will not accept payments on behalf of sellers.

Artwork Pickup
Students must take their work home by the end of the last day of the spring session, which is Monday June 22. Any artwork left behind past this date is considered a donation to Forum Art Centre.
