Event Details
For over four decades, the Arts Council of Surrey has organized ARTS in partnership with the Gallery. This annual open-juried art exhibition celebrates artmaking throughout Surrey and beyond. Prizes are awarded across five categories:
- Painting
- Drawing, printmaking, and mixed media on paper
- Sculptures and fibre art
- Photography
- Digital, performative, and new media
Entries appear in a wide range of themes and media, from captivating landscape paintings to intricate sculptures and weavings. The artworks are displayed throughout Surrey Arts Centre, and visitors are invited to vote for the People’s Choice Award at any time during their visit.
This year, the jury consisted of photography-based artist Brian Howell, artist and Kwantlen Polytechnic University Fine Arts faculty member Jason Wright, and Surrey Art Gallery Curator of Art and Education Initiatives Alanna Edwards.
Exhibiting artists will share reflections about their artworks and wider practices at an Artist Open Mic on June 5, part of Surrey Art Gallery Association’s free Thursday Artist Talk series.
The close of ARTS 2025 will be celebrated at the summer opening art party on July 5 where the prize winners will also be announced.
