Highlighting Northern BC's Talent
June 2026 Indigenous Group Art show
Each June, Omineca Arts Centre presents a group exhibition in honour of Indigenous Peoples Month, celebrating the creativity and diversity of local Indigenous artists.
We welcome artwork in all mediums, including painting, photography, beadwork, textiles, mixed media, and more. This exhibition aims to create space for Indigenous artists to share work that reflects their unique voices, experiences, and artistic practices.
The exhibition will be on display at the Centre throughout June 2026. An artist reception will take place on June 6, 2026, from 12:00–2:00 PM. This gathering is an opportunity for the public to meet the artists, experience the exhibition, and celebrate Indigenous creativity together. Artists are encouraged to invite friends and family to join in the celebration.
The reception is free to attend, and light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
If you are interested in more applying please fill out the inquiry form and an Omineca staff member will be in touch.

Call for Submissions
Omineca Arts Centre's residency program offers a paid platform for artists and performers, both pre-emerging and professional, from local, regional, and visiting backgrounds. We welcome applications from artists in all fields, including performance, music, literature, and visual arts, as well as collaborative and multidisciplinary projects. Submissions are accepted on an ongoing basis and generally scheduled within 3-6 months ahead.
While the program is open to all artists, priority may be given to equity-seeking individuals and those residing within the Omineca Region. Residencies provide dedicated time and space for artists to delve into their creative processes, work on projects, and while they typically last 1 month, they can vary in duration.

June 2026 Artist in Residence
Indigenous Artists Group Exhibiton
This month, Omineca Arts Centre is proud to showcase the work of 10 local Indigenous artists. The exhibition will be on display from June 1 to June 30, and we encourage the public to stop by and experience this vibrant collection of artwork. Featuring a wide range of styles, mediums, and artistic perspectives, the exhibition highlights the incredible talent within our local Indigenous arts community.
This month, we wanted to celebrate Indigenous art in all its forms. Indigenous artists are often expected to create work that reflects cultural traditions, significance, or representation. While many artists do choose to explore these themes, there are also highly talented Indigenous artists whose work is contemporary, experimental, personal, or entirely unrelated to traditional artistic practices. Through this exhibition, we aim to highlight the diversity of artistic expression that exists within Indigenous communities and to recognize each artist’s unique creative voice, regardless of whether their work carries explicit cultural significance.
Join us on June 6 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. for the official Artist Reception. This free event is open to the public and will feature light snacks and refreshments, an artist Q&A session, and an opportunity to view the artwork up close while meeting some of the artists behind the work.
We look forward to celebrating these talented artists with you.
