THEME
connection n.1. act of connecting ; state of being connected

In our fast pace, rapidly changing world, BECA gallery has been established as a bridge to and for emerging contemporary art.

The traditional Inuit view of the world is one of intrinsic connections between all things: whether they are the integral ones of family ties, the dynamics of nature and the landscape or the spirit world. Within other cultures, today’s technologies along with the ease of global movement enable new, previously unknown, connections to manifest themselves.

Artists must be a minimum of 18 years of age.

FEES
You may submit up to 3 images of your artwork for a fee of $20 US. If you wish to submit more than 3 images please include $5 US for each additional image. Fee payment should be made by check or money order in US funds payable to ‘BECA gallery’ and included with your submission.
