Call for Submissions from Artists and Curators
DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography is a non-profit artist-run centre committed to the advancement of photographic art. We encourage the submission of exhibition proposals from emerging, mid-career and established artists who are innovative in their use of materials and approach to subject matter.
Gallery 44 views photography within the larger context of contemporary artistic practices and relevant cultural issues in Canadian society. Please submit:
1. A maximum of twenty slides or digital images (CD must be MAC compatible) representing a recent body of work or a specific project. Digital images should be RGB, jpeg format no larger than 1024 x 768 pixels at 300 dpi. They should be numbered 01 to 20 (01_tree, 02_house, 03_car etc.) Slides must be numbered and marked with the artist's name and a red dot in the lower left corner. Gallery 44 does not accept original artwork. We do not accept images by email.
2. An image list indicating title, year, medium and dimensions.
3. An artist's statement, curatorial statement, or other written description.
4. A physical description of the proposed exhibition, including the number of works, the space required and any unusual installation requirements.
5. Curricula vitae, resumes or biographies of the artist(s) and curator, if applicable.
6. A self-addressed envelope (SASE) with sufficient return postage. Without an SASE we will not return submission packages and will dispose of submission materials appropriately.
Gallery 44 welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with other arts and community organizations. Please contact us to discuss your project.
Submissions must be postmarked no later than September 30th 2009. If this date falls on a weekend or statutory holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. Submissions sent after the competition closing date will be reviewed at the next deadline. Gallery 44 will take reasonable care with submission materials; however, we cannot accept responsibility for damage or loss to original photographic prints. Gallery 44 does not accept submissions by fax or email. Artists are paid in accordance with the CARFAC Fee Schedule. Results are communicated within three months.
