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.

Online workshop with stage, film, and television writer Jeffrey Hatcher

The session is designed to discuss what makes a good adaptation, what kinds of sources lend themselves to successful adaptations, and the craft needed to accomplish the work. Participants should have already written an adaptation or be considering writing one.

The course will run over a two-week period where participants will meet virtually on two Saturday nights: April 23^rd and April 30^th. Those interested in applying are asked to send a resumé and a brief letter of interest to ARC’s Artistic Director, Stephen Tobias, at director@atlanticrep.ca.

The Fredericton Arts Alliance CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE SUMMER 202

Theme: “Breaking Out”

The Fredericton Arts Alliance invites applications for our 21st Artist in Residence Summer Series. Accepted artists receive a $450 honorarium.

We seek emerging and experienced artists working in any media, including architecture, performance, sculpture, music, dance, electronic media, literary arts, visual art, fibre arts and fine craft. We encourage artists from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Because of COVID19, we expect these residencies will be largely virtual, with artists using their own studios and social media and working with the FAA’s social media platforms to showcase their work and process to a wider public. Again, as with last year, we ask each participating artist to organize a “pop-up” live local event as part of their residency. These could be in the form of a poetry reading in front of City Hall, an art display on the Green, a dance lesson at Carleton Park, a demonstration of techniques used during the residency, a musical performance in Odell Park, or something completely different, appropriate to the artist and the media involved.

The pop-up could be during the week of the residency, or in days following it, with weather and COVID restrictions being limiting factors. If a residency occurred during tight COVID controls or during a week of unremitting rain, the pop-up could be arranged later when the forces affecting the virus and the skies are more amenable. This summer our theme will be Breaking Out. It seems an appropriate theme after two years of varying degrees of lock-down – and also appropriate to the idea of moving beyond one’s current scope of practice into a new dimension. We invite artists to reflect on this theme as they work and challenge themselves to break out of their mold. As different artists in varied media focus their creative energies on this theme, we hope to engender discussion among the artists and members of the public, both here and afar.

The week-long residences, one at a time, will run from June 20 to September 10. In their written application, artists should say how they intend to approach the theme and what they plan by way of a “pop-up”. Application forms and guidelines are available on the Fredericton Arts Alliance website – www.frederictonartsalliance.ca.

More information is available by email to president@frederictonartsalliance.ca. The Fredericton Arts Alliance will mount an exhibition of work produced over the summer at the Charlotte Street Arts Centre in the fall. Participants will be asked to designate a piece for this exhibition.

Deadline: Applications must be received no later than 4 p.m. Friday, May 13, 2022.

Call : 2SLGTBQIA+ Workshop

Almost body yay.jpg Are you a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community?

Do you love creating — crafting, costumery, sculpture, drag, props, and more?!

Do you enjoy taking photos and/or having your photo taken?

almost-body: in and out of touch is a creative workshop, with artist Amy Ash, for members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, at Galerie d’art Louise-et-Reuben-Cohen, Université de Moncton. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 19, from 1 – 4 p.m.

We have been in and out of touch, both literally and metaphorically, a lot lately. Between government restrictions and anxieties surrounding the pandemic, there have been many barriers to togetherness and, especially, touch. Communities for whom the concept of « chosen family » is

crucial have been especially affected by the events of the past two years. So, let’s get together,

safely, and make something of all of this.

almost-body: in and out of touch is a curiosity-driven event where we will come together to make and document experimental artworks that engage the body in fun, safe, and unusual ways.

Encircling ideas of identity, collectivity, and care, this workshop will be organized less like a class and more like a collaborative art lab — a place where all your wildest, queerest, crafting dreams come true! — where everything becomes a material for making, a possibility, an experience. Let us create a safe space for play, absurdity, connection, contemplation, and the celebration of our community. No prior experience is required to participate.

· Masks and proof of vaccination are mandatory for all participants.

· In participating in this workshop, you are also agreeing to photograph and be photographed. Your collaboration will assist the artist in the creation of new work. This workshop will be documented, and images of hands at work may appear in future art projects by Amy Ash. (Please see the registration consent form distributed when you sign up for more information.)

To register please email Alisa Arsenault, Curator of Community Engagement at alisa.arsenault@umoncton.ca

Gallery on Queen is proud to have an inaugural Art Exhibition in celebration of the Black History Month 2022 hosted by the New Brunswick Black Artists Alliance (NBBAA).

Black Art has existed since there have been Black settlers living here on the unceded territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq First Nations/New Brunswick. Art offers the potential to travel, migrate and transcend, along with the complex and multifaceted histories of the people on this land.

Artist Gary Weekes has expressed before that Black History Month should not be just for the month of February, but should be celebrated and given space all year round alongside; Asian history, White history, Indigenous history and others.

This exhibition celebrates the Black identity in New Brunswick. The New Brunswick Black Artists Alliance (NBBAA) is a non-profit organization that works tirelessly to give voice to those forgotten NB Black Artists and to nurture, promote and protect all future Black Artists.

Black Art Matters.

This sensitivity is born from living in the cosmopolitan cities of London and New York to his finally settling in New Brunswick, Canada. Gary’s evolution into Fine Art Photography originated with an eclectic body of work that explored the human condition through collaborative storytelling with his sitters. Collaborations are important for Gary, “shared experiences” are an important part of his mien. Finding this pulse creates a connection between the art and the viewer with Gary becoming a conduit for doing so. With a uniqueness of vision, Gary’s approach to his art is “Out of confusion comes clarity!”
