Forest City Gallery’s annual Members’ Show & Sale is back! This year FCG is ecstatic to be partnering with Embassy Cultural House for our biggest fundraising event of the year. From November 21st – December 12th, 2026 come out to FCG to peruse London’s artistic talent, and join us on Friday, November 20th from 7–9pm for the grand opening party!!
If you are an artist, this is a great opportunity to display your work, develop new audiences, find new collectors, and support your local artist-run centres. If you are an art lover with any kind of budget, this is an easy and exciting path to expanding (or beginning) your collection! The Members’ Show & Sale is a powerful way that you can support your local artists and arts organizations directly.
Submissions are due by Monday, November 2nd at 11:59pm. Contributors must be a member in good standing of either Forest City Gallery or Embassy Cultural House in order to participate in the Members’ Show & Sale.
Artists can contribute up to two works for exhibition at a maximum size of 36” x 24” each. All artworks must be ready to hang or display. For 3D artists, please note that FCG has a limited number of plinths, so alternate plans for presentation may need to be arranged with the gallery.
This year, FCG will include a section dedicated to artist multiples, which could include prints, photographs, beadwork, stickers, or other small works. It is the artist's responsibility to include plastic sheaths, envelopes, or other protective measures against handling by shoppers.
All information must be submitted to the Google Form by Monday, November 2nd, 2026. Please feel free to contact the gallery by phone, email, or in-person if you have questions or need support.
Building Safer Community Spaces at the Members Show and Sale:
Forest City Gallery is committed to upholding strong community and ethical values throughout the Member’s Show and Sale (MSS). Artists applying to and exhibiting in the MSS will be asked to agree to our Safe Space Policy and our new Gender Based Sexual Violence Policy (both available on our website) which outline the obligations of our members to uphold standards of community care. Additionally, as Forest City Gallery and the arts community as a whole learn to navigate the impacts of generative AI, applicants to the exhibition will be asked to disclose and explain any use of AI in their submitted work.
If you have questions about any of these policies or how they are being applied to the MSS please contact Bronte at policy@forestcitygallery.com.
