Union House Arts (UHA) is currently accepting proposals for exhibitions relating to the theme of WATER to take place between May 2026 and September 2027.

The theme WATER was selected to support and relate to continued conversations surrounding the impacts of climate change, community connections to the ocean, and relationships to water as both a source of life and hardship. Our organization’s proximity to the ocean and nearby rivers directly influences the ways in which we operate as an organization, particularly our engagement with the historic and contemporary cultures of Ktaqamkuk (Newfoundland), Nunatsiavut, NunatuKavut, and Nitassinan (Labrador). Concepts that will be prioritized include, but are not limited to, work that is responsive to: climate crisis, coastal economies, sustainable futures, habitat preservation, folklore, intergenerational knowledge, out-migration and immigration, and regenerative tourism.

For more information about the gallery and how to apply, visit the call for submissions page.

Union House Arts (UHA) is a community artspace in Port Union that aims to build a thoughtful space for community residents and artists to work and share together; to expand ideas about what art can be, how and where it can be shown, and to create an environment that is accessible to people of all experiences and educations. The space is experimental in nature with a focus on place-based programming and knowledge building and sharing.
