PARTNER WITH PDA
Gallery Partner Program
Discover exceptional artists and expand your gallery's reach.
Public Display Agency hosts curated exhibitions across Canada, connecting galleries with artists in their local community and beyond. Gallery Partners attend events in their city and commit to selecting at least one participating artist for future programming in whatever way best aligns with their organization.
In return, Gallery Partners receive promotion through PDA's website, an Instagram audience of more than 25,000 followers, and national email campaigns reaching over 160,000 artists across Canada.
