Call for Project Proposals: 2018-2019 Programming
January 2, 2018 @ 12:00 am - 11:59 pm
Deadline: February 16th, 2018
Connexion Artist-Run Centre for Contemporary Art is calling for project proposals for 2018-2019 programming. Proposals can include, but are not limited to: exhibitions, studio residencies, screenings, lectures, panels, artist talks, readings, performances and workshops.
Opportunities are open to local, national, and international artists working in any medium, discipline or professional level. Connexion ARC’s discourse happens in spaces outside of traditional gallery settings, generating new venues for artists to discuss their practices, and to engage in collective re-imagining, research, cultural negotiation, storytelling, and disruptive creativity.
We welcome artists to activate spaces that respond to past and present issues of social urgency, seeking creative ways to negotiate diverse perspectives, and leading necessary critical discussions around place, community, identity, experience, and decolonization.
