Montreal, July 14, 2025 — The Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC) is calling on professional curators to submit a group exhibition project to be presented in Montreal, at the next edition of the Plural Art Fair, from April 9 to 12, 2026.
This original exhibition, presented at the entrance of the Grand Quay Pavilion, will welcome the public to the fair in a large windowed space bathed in natural light. The exhibition projects submitted must address relevant themes showcasing contemporary practices through a clear concept, and demonstrate a strong reflection on current artistic, cultural or social issues, while remaining accessible and inviting to a diverse audience.
All details related to the mandate—including the online form, technical requirements, selection criteria, curator fees, and production timeline—are available on our registration platform.
If this is your first time using the platform, you’ll need to create an account before submitting.
