The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is now accepting exhibition proposals from artists and curators for the 2025 programming of their main gallery and project gallery.
The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is an artist-run centre located in Kelowna, BC. The Alternator presents year-round exhibitions in all media by emerging and mid-career Canadian and international artists, as well as artist talks, exchanges, panel discussions, fundraising events, publications, workshops and other events that promote an awareness of contemporary art practices.
Works will be selected by the programming committee based on the following criteria:

- Quality of the artwork (with an emphasis on experimental approach)
- Clarity of the written proposal
- Production cost and availability
Further, the programming committee seeks diversity of perspective, medium and theme when establishing the annual exhibition calendar.
