The CCAG Annual Juried Exhibition

Artists who are residents of the City of Cambridge can submit up to two works in any media to be considered by our juror for inclusion in the Annual Juried Art Exhibition which takes place annually, from mid-October to mid - November.

The Jill Summerhayes Award (Juror’s 1st), 2nd and 3rd place awards, and three Honourable Mentions will also be chosen.  Awards are generously sponsored by the Cambridge Arts Guild and are announced at the Opening Reception in October.

The 2025 guest juror was Guelph-based artist Lisa Hirmer. Ms. Hirmer is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the collective nature of being, particularly in human relationships with the more-than-human world. She has shown her work across Canada and internationally including at Art Gallery of Ontario, Art Gallery of Guelph, University of Lethbridge Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Mississauga, Tom Thomson Gallery, Art Windsor-Essex, Doris McCarthy Gallery, Peninsula Arts, CAFKA, Queens Museum, and Flux Factory, among others. She has done artist residencies with Arts House Melbourne, the Santa Fe Art Institute, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World, KIAC and Camargo Foundation, and was the 2022 Waterfront Toronto Artist in Residence. She has received grants from Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, musagetes and the Culture and Animal Foundation, and has a Master of Architecture from the University of Waterloo.
