Regart Amplitude: Open Call for Artists and Independent Curators

Deadline : Midnight, May 22. 2022
Artistic orientation 2023-2024

Amplitude. To expand ? Overflow ? Contain more ?


Amplitude is to encourage the overflow, the generous, the abundant. To feel the vibrant presence of a work, whether material or immaterial. Amplitude can consist of a diversity of strategies, sensibilities, subjects, choices, research, a complexity of assemblies, an overdose of gestures, actions, up-cycling, volumes, textures, shapes, mediums, and compositions.

A new era for Regart, with new programming in new spaces.  We are looking for proposals developed specifically to inhabit the space of the gallery. It is also possible to present works and projects already in circulation but adapted to the specificities of our space.

Regart, centre d’artistes en art actuel, was established in Lévis in 1986, Regart, a contemporary artist’ center, ensures the dynamic presence of the visual arts for the public of Chaudière-Appalaches and Québec City.

In the gallery and in public space, the Regart program highlights works that reflect the hybridization and experiment in which artistic quality and the importance of theory are shown off. The Centre favours innovative projects, research and exchanges aiming at being an open venue, a field of possibilities in which discussion with artists and mediation with the public are fundamental.

Gallery applications must be submitted before midnight on May 22, 2022. Email and paper applications won’t be accepted, only via the form at this link.

Digital Now!

Digital Now! is a series of digital literacy workshops we’ll be running in March/April 2022. Open to artists of all disciplines, the series will offer FREE three-day workshops in Fredericton, Miramichi, Saint John and Moncton, exploring the creative possibilities of various digital creative platforms.
We’ve invested a lot into new play development over the years but have done little to support artists working in the area of design. Through a grant we received from the Canada Council for the Arts, we put this program together to make digital art education a real possibility for all NB artists, not just theatre folks!
On top of this, participants in the workshops will be able to then submit project proposals for a digital art showcase we’ll be hosting later in the year. Successful projects will receive one of ten $5000 commissions to create new work based on or informed by the tools presented in the workshops. ALL ARTISTS INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING PROPOSALS MUST TAKE ATTEND THE FREE TRAINING.

seeking contributors for CreatedHere:BODIES by Amy Ash

This issue is dedicated to BODIES: the physicality of the creative process, as well as concepts of access, agency, and belonging that are linked to our physical selves.
Our bodies are sensory receptors to the rest of the world. As artists – whether performers, musicians, or makers – we use our bodies to carry out our creative work, sometimes with large labouring actions and other times with small delicate movements. Often our bodies know (or remember) exactly what to do, even when words may fail. How does your body impact your creative process? What does your body remember?
Navigating the world can be an entirely different experience based on the body you inhabit. Throughout history, certain bodies have been marginalized, oppressed, and overlooked due to their appearance or the ideas they represent. Others have been arbitrarily privileged. How do you navigate the world? And who is the (art)world built for?
Although the physical distance between human bodies has increased out of collective care, we understand our bodies to be more connected now than ever— to one another as well as the larger ecosystems we inhabit. And, in kinship, we bestow the word “body” upon other meaningful sites, as in: bodies of water or bodies of land. How can we share space with more-than-human bodies so that we all can thrive? Where does one body end and another begin?
This issue discusses the ways in which we use our bodies to make artwork, and, more broadly, how we experience the world through, or as a result of, our bodies.

The deadline is coming up to submit work for our annual exhibit, Deck The Walls. We invite artists of all stages in their development to submit work to sell at Sunbury Shores as we head into the winter holiday season. It is a wonderful time to shop from local artisans all in one location. And it is a fabulous time to submit work to sell, especially if you have never done so before. You can find the application on our website HERE, or you can drop into the centre and we can answer any questions you might have.

Deadline for submitting work: Nov 1

Deadline for physically delivering work to Sunbury Shores: Nov 18th
