Gallery 44 and the Toronto Animated Image Society have commissioned eight local artists to create new photo-based animations exploring the subject of "feeling photography", the title and theme of a conference hosted by the Toronto Photography Seminar October 16 - 17, 2009 in Toronto. (www.torontophotoseminar.org).

Toronto Animated Image Society is a non-profit artist-run centre that explores and promotes the art of animation and supports animators as artists. Over the past 20 years, TAIS has encouraged the exchange of information, facilities, ideas and aesthetics within Toronto's animation community through events, screenings, workshops, art exhibitions and by providing affordable access to a specialized animation studio.

Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography is a non-profit artist-run centre committed to the advancement of photographic art. Founded in 1979 to establish a creative, supportive environment in which photography could flourish, today our centre consists of a gallery, resource centre, and production facilities. We offer workshops, equipment rental, and serve a membership of artists and photo enthusiasts. Our goal is to contribute to the dialogue on contemporary Canadian photographic art practice and to foster its support, understanding and appreciation.
