Murney Tower Museum, in partnership with Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre, is excited to announce a call for artists for our upcoming collaborative exhibition, Echoes: Reimagining Murney Tower. This innovative exhibition aims to explore the rich and multifaceted history of Murney Tower while envisioning its contemporary significance and future possibilities. It will be displayed at the Modern Fuel Artist-Run Centre and Murney Tower Museum in the spring and summer of 2025.
As documented by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt, this place has been a vibrant hunting, fishing, and meeting point for the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Huron Wendat Nations. The tower itself was built in 1846 due to American-British territorial disputes and stands on Murney Point as a symbol of British colonialism and Indigenous-Settler relations in the region.
The museum located inside Murney Tower is turning 100 years old in 2025, which poses a unique opportunity for reimagining the past, present, and future possibilities of Murney Tower. Echoes invites artists to engage with themes of (de)colonization, heritage, memory, and transformation, and to explore the intersection of past and present through diverse mediums and perspectives. We are seeking submissions that challenge and expand our understanding of Murney Tower’s legacy and its evolving role in our community.
We welcome artistic expressions in a variety of formats, including but not limited to video, sound, painting, photography, sculpture, written texts, zines, prints, and performances. If it can be presented in a gallery setting, it can be submitted for consideration by our Selection Committee.
This exhibition represents a significant moment for reflection and dialogue, and we are eager to see how artists will contribute to reshaping the narratives and charting new dialogues about Murney Tower. We encourage all artists to submit their work and be a part of this pivotal project.

Each year, the Multifaith Action Society invites artists to submit works of art for publication in our upcoming Multifaith Calendar.
The theme for our upcoming 2026 edition is: Growth and Change
We believe this theme is open to a wide variety of interpretations and leaves open the possibility for a rich array of artistic submissions.
In our 2026 Multifaith Calendar, Growth and Change, we invite artists to reflect deeply on these perennial questions and to channel their visions of growth and change into artwork that personifies, among other things, personal development, self-discovery, and self-reflection… striving to build deeper connections within as well as reaching out to the world around us.
Submission Guidelines: Artists can submit up to 5 works for consideration and artwork on this theme can be submitted in any medium. All artists are invited to submit including those who have never been featured in the Calendar and those who have been featured in past editions. Ultimately, the interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.
How We Pay Artists: Selected artists will be offered an honorarium of $250 per monthly calendar image, $500 for the cover image, and $100 for smaller inset images placed throughout the Calendar. In addition, featured artists will receive a set of complimentary Calendars once published.
How to Submit Entries: Submit digital images (up to 5) in low resolution (jpg/72dpi) to: art
Should a piece be chosen, we will contact the artist and request a high resolution version of the image (min 400 dpi).
Address any questions to: artsubmissions@
