submissions from Canadian clay, glass and copper enamel artists for Confined, a national group exhibition.

In March 2020, Covid-19 brought all of us to a standstill. Many artists didn’t even have access to their studios. As Covid-19 continues to affect us all in our daily life, we invite clay, glass, and copper enamel artists to express in their art what the imposed confinement meant for them.

Mental health issues, anxiety, financial burden for some, but also time to reflect, conceptualise, create for others, the conflict and diversification of personal and professional life are possible themes…and more.

Multi-media works and those that incorporate new media within the use of clay, glass, and copper enamelling will be considered.

The selected works will be presented in the exhibition starting in January 2022. A publication will also be produced. The Gallery will provide an artist fee (as set out by CARFAC) to the selected artists and cover the costs of shipping and insurance for the duration of the exhibition.

We welcome submissions from all qualified applicants and encourage submissions from groups that are typically underrepresented in institutional spaces, including racialized and Indigenous individuals, LGBTQ2S+ identifying individuals, francophone individuals, Deaf persons, and persons with disabilities. If you require any accommodations during the submissions process, please contact assistant [arobas] theclayandglass [point] ca or 519-746-1882 ext: 235.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE
All materials must be emailed to assistant [arobas] theclayandglass [point] ca with the subject line “Confined” by Friday April 2, 2021. Notification of the results will be sent by June 2021.

SUBMISSION MATERIALS
In a single document, emailed to assistant [arobas] theclayandglass [point] ca, with the subject line “Confined”, please submit:

A written statement describing the work that you propose for the exhibition as well as its significance to the theme (50-100 words). Works in-progress and concepts for works to be completed will also be considered.
Up to 5 images of your work, including titles and dimensions of works. Provide sketches for works that have not yet been completed.
An artist statement describing your practice, interests, and what the concept of confinement means to you (up to 250 words).
A CV that includes, at minimum, your education as well as any relevant exhibition, publication, and installation history (maximum 3 pages).

ABOUT THE GALLERY
Located in Waterloo, Ontario, the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is Canada’s only gallery dedicated to the exhibition and collecting of contemporary Canadian clay, glass, and copper enamelling. Through exhibition programs, publications, clay and glass studios, and an archival centre and library, the Gallery supports research and creation by emerging, mid-career, and established artists. The Gallery is accessible, with the exception of exhibitions and events held in the John A. Pollock Family Courtyard, which is not fully accessible to visitors with particular mobility aids at this time.

We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territory of the Attawandaron, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometers on each side of the Grand River.

VIFF ANNOUNCES 2021 FESTIVAL DATES & CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

The Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) announced today that its 40th edition
will take place from September 30 – October 10, 2021. The landmark edition will
feature both in-cinema and online screenings, with approximately 100
features and 100
shorts to be screened in a showcase of exceptional films from around
the world. The scope of VIFF’s brick-and-mortar events will be determined in the
coming months as the organization continues to closely monitor the COVID-19
situation.

Submissions for the 2021 Festival are now open via FilmFreeway
www.filmfreeway.com/VIFF – for features, documentaries and short films, as well as
narrative-lead virtual and immersive content.

Featuring an extensive and diverse collection of contemporary Canadian cinema, VIFF
invites exciting new voices to share the spotlight with national treasures and fosters
enlightening dialogue. VIFF’s 2020 edition featured 65 Canadian features and shorts
playing in competition. 52% of those selections were by female filmmakers and 45%
were by BIPOC filmmakers. Likewise, it included international work from 65 countries,
including narratives that demonstrate originality, documentaries that change the way
we see the world, and short films that push
the form to its limits.

“The adversity presented by the pandemic hasnt just forced us to adapt our approach
to programming and presentation, its demanded that we re-envision how we
meaningfully engage with creators and connect audiences with vital work,” said Curtis
Woloschuk, VIFFs Associate Director of Programming. “We cant wait to bring our
collective inspiration to bear as we once again reinvent ourselves for our 40th edition.”

The 2021 VIFF will once again expand the frame to include conferences, talks,
workshops and other unique events that celebrate innovations in cinematic storytelling.
At VIFFs 2020 edition, these events included talks with the likes of Charlie Kaufman
(Im Thinking of Ending Things), Garrett Bradley (Time) and Eliza Hittman (Never
Rarely Sometimes Always), the VIFF Immersed Exhibition of narrative-driven VR
experiences, VIFF Labs, the VIFF AMP Music in Film Summit, and an evening of music
and conversation with Beverly Glenn-Copeland (Keyboard Fantasies).

Furthermore, VIFF is inviting immersive storytellers from British Columbia and around
the world to submit their narrative-driven Virtual and Augmented Reality (XR) content
to the International VIFF Immersed Competition. Finalists will be showcased at the
VIFF Immersed Exhibition during this year’s Festival. In 2020, the VIFF Immersed
Exhibition was hosted across six online channels ” making it the most widely
accessible festival platform for story-driven XR content.

Submissions are now open for all sections of the Festival:
features, documentaries, short films, and VIFF Immersed. More info can be found at
http://goviff.org/submissions. Projects can be submitted via FilmFreeway at

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: The Franklin Furnace Fund
Deadline: April 8, 2021; City: NYC, USA: Source: The Franklin Furnace
 
2020 is the 35th anniversary of the Franklin Furnace Fund. Initiated in 1985 with the support of Jerome Foundation, Franklin Furnace has annually awarded grants to early career artists selected by peer panel review to enable them to produce major performance art works in New York.
 
In the spring of 2008, Franklin Furnace combined the Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art and The Future of the Present programs into one, entitled the Franklin Furnace Fund. Franklin Furnace made the decision to combine these programs because during the last decade, artists have created works on every point of the spectrum between the body of the artist and the circulatory network of the Internet in the creation of temporal work.
 
The Franklin Furnace Fund is supported in 2021–2022 by Jerome Foundation and the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council. Grants range between $2,000 and $10,000 based on the peer review panel allocation of funding received by Franklin Furnace. Artists from all areas of the world are encouraged to apply; however, artists selected by the panel are expected to present their work in New York City. Full-time students are ineligible.
 
Franklin Furnace has no curator; each year a new panel of artists reviews all proposals. We believe this peer panel system allows all kinds of artists from all over the world an equal shot at presenting their work. Every year the panel changes, as do the definitions of “early career artist” and “performance art.” So, if at first you don’t succeed, please try again.
 
Since 1985, the Fund has helped launch the careers of Jo Andres, Tanya Barfield, Jibz Cameron aka Dynasty Handbag, Lenora Champagne, Patty Chang, Papo Colo, Brody Condon, Nicolás Dumit Estévez, Karen Finley, John Fleck, Coco Fusco, Kate Gilmore, Pablo Helguera, Donna Henes, Murray Hill, Holly Hughes, Liz Magic Laser, Taylor Mac, Robbie McCauley, Jennifer Miller, Naeem Mohaiemen, Rashaad Newsome, Clifford Owens, Pope.L, Dread Scott, Pamela Sneed, Fiona Templeton and Diane Torr, among other fund recipients.

CAG + Ground Floor

WEDGE RESIDENCY

A residency for early-emerging artists
Deadline to apply: Sunday, March 14, 5pm PDT

The Contemporary Art Gallery (CAG) and Ground Floor have teamed up to create
WEDGE RESIDENCY, a new residency program for early-emerging artists located in
the North Gallery at the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. CAG and Ground
Floor
operate as uninvited guests on the ancestral and sacred lands of the xmkwy”m
(Musqueam), Swxw7mesh (Squamish) and slilwta/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations,
lands which were never ceded or surrendered.

An early-emerging artist is broadly defined by Ground Floor as an artist of any age with
minimal experience or access to opportunities within arts institutions, who demonstrate
a commitment to their practice and a desire to engage with a larger community. In
addition to those who identify as artists, this may include those who identify as
curators, writers, community-based practitioners or creatives in any field.

This self-directed residency will provide participants with a stipend, semi-private studio
space, and support to further develop their practice, as well as the opportunity to
expand their connections to a wider arts community in Vancouver. Applicants currently
in need of space are encouraged to apply.

Over the course of the residency, participants will have the
opportunity to speak one-
on-one with artists/curators about their practice, build on their professional skills,
develop a public- facing initiative, and gain insight into the framework of both an
established institution and a DIY art collective.

Call for Submissions

remote to refer to a broader understanding of isolation”see below for
clarification. Applications from artists who self-identify as
Queer/LGBTQIA2S+, Black, Indigenous, racialized, disabled, and
neurodivergent will be prioritized in the selection of six (6) artists or
artistic groups. We will not share any personal health information

geographic area of Canada”. There is no age limit.

This project aims to create connections, facilitate relationships, provide
opportunities and support.
Recognizing the impacts of colonialism, white supremacy, and all forms
of systemic oppression, we are working broadly in our own
organizational approaches, and specifically with the structure and
intentions of this project, to de-centre whiteness and nurture people,
projects, and ideas, to whatever their natural evolution may be.

Remote can be understood as located rurally/outside of city centres,
and/or facing isolation from artistic communities through circumstances
such as working from home, caregiving, health needs, or displacement.
Remoteness can be physical, geographic, mental and spiritual.

The residencies will be one-month long and two artists will participate
at the same time. We will facilitate dialogue between RRR participants,
and encourage you to connect and share your practices with each
other. In
conversation with the participants, we will produce a digital
exhibition/archive of your residency activities. Residencies will take
place between May and October 2021.

We will provide:
an artist fee of $1500;
a CARFAC rate fee of $322 for an online public talk or presentation of
your research from the residency;
artistic/curatorial support;
additional support based on needs identified by the applicant (be it for
materials, software, childcare, accessibility tools, etc)

We are interested in learning about practices from
Folks with emerging arts practices or artists working through new
ideas, formats and methods. Folks working in traditional and
intergenerational practices.
Folks looking to ask new questions in their practice, wanting to explore
a new medium, method or material.
Who are either located outside city centres and/or remotely located.

CALL TO ARTISTS FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) PUBLIC ARTWORK FOR EGLINTON WAY BIA IN TORONTO
Value of the Awarded Commission: Approximately $50,000 CAD (inclusive) per artwork
Deadline for Submissions: March 17, 2021 by 11:59 pm EST.

STEPS Public Art, the Eglinton Way Business Improvement Area (BIA) and the City of Toronto invite Ontario-based professional artists (including artist teams) to submit their Expression of Interest to the first stage of a competition for public artwork(s) that will be installed at one (1) of five (5) locations along Eglinton Avenue West in 2021 and 2022.

The sculptures will be selected through an open, two-stage competition, with a total budget of approximately $50,000 (inclusive) per artwork. The project budget includes all costs directly associated with the artwork: including fees for design, fabrication, installation, engineering and professional services, insurance, travel and other incidental expenses.

For the full details regarding this opportunity please click here.

COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
Situated at a nine-block stretch at the north end of Toronto’s Forest Hill neighbourhood, the Eglinton Way BIA is a picturesque and pedestrian-friendly area that is considered to be one of Toronto’s most fashionable shopping districts.

Like many other BIAs along Eglinton Avenue West, the BIA has been impacted over the years by the construction of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. By partnering with the City of Toronto to commission these public artworks, the Eglinton Way BIA hopes to create a truly unique art and shopping experience outdoors, unlike anything the city has ever seen.

The BIA’s goal over the next five (5) years is to bring twenty-five (25) of these sculptures into the neighbourhood.

PROJECT DETAILS
Following a competitive Selection Panel process, shortlisted artists will be asked to develop a design concept for one (1) site. The sites will be assigned to each of the shortlisted artists. The five (5) sites within the Eglinton Way BIA catchment area will be described in detail in the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the short-listed artists.

TWO-STAGE COMPETITION
This is a two-stage, open, Ontario-wide competition for professional artists.

Per the Canada Council’s guidelines, a professional artist is defined as someone who:

has specialized artistic training (not necessarily in academic institutions);
is recognized as a professional by their peers (artists working in the same artistic tradition);
has a history of public exhibitions; and/ or
has produced an independent body of work
A specially convened Selection Panel, composed of practicing arts professionals, BIA and community members, will be established for this competition.

Stage 1: Request for Expression of Interest: March 17th – May 1st, 2021

The Selection Panel will review all submissions and meet in early April 2021 to identify a short-list of ten (10) artists, based on artistic excellence, relevant experience and demonstrated or perceived ability to create and execute an innovative, engaging public artwork that is complementary to the overall design scheme and community context.

Stage 2: Request for Concepts: May 3rd – June 30th, 2021

The short-listed artists will be notified after the selection panel’s first meeting and invited to participate in a four (4) week concept development period, which will result in a final concept design proposal and budget. A detailed TOR document will be provided to short-listed artists, with all of the information required to prepare and submit their full proposals. Short-listed artists will be paid a fee of $1000.00 (inclusive) for this stage.

Each proposal will first undergo a technical review by City staff, in order to assess them for safety and maintenance concerns. Each artist will receive their technical feedback notes and have time to incorporate them into their proposals, if necessary. Proposals that are deemed not technically viable will not advance to the interview stage.

Following the technical review, shortlisted artists will attend a community Open House (virtual or in-person, depending on current Public Health Recommendations) and present their proposals to the community in late-May 2021 (date TBC). The community will provide feedback that will be consolidated and shared with the shortlisted artists and the selection panel. Each artist will have time to incorporate them into their proposals.

Shortlisted artists will attend an interview (virtual or in-person) and present their proposals to the Selection Panel in June 2021 (date TBC). The panel will choose five (5) artists whose vision for the site best suits the overall scope and intent of this project, and has the ability or perceived ability to conceive and realize a public artwork on this site.

The selected artists will be notified in early July 2021. Three (3) works will be fabricated and installed by November 2021. Two (2) works to be fabricated and installed in early 2022. Artists selected to install works in 2022 will be asked to sign a Letter of Intent.

Programme d’art mural 2021 / Ville de Montréal

/ Montréal (Québec)
 
Dans ses politiques et programmes, la Ville de Montréal a notamment pour objectifs d’améliorer la qualité des milieux de vie, de favoriser l’accès aux arts et à la culture, d’encourager l’engagement des citoyen.ne.s dans l’amélioration de leur milieu, d’entretenir et d’embellir la ville et de soutenir et mettre en valeur la création artistique. Le Programme d’art mural 2021 comprend trois volets répondant chacun à des objectifs et des critères d’appréciation distincts et soutient des projets réalisés sur l’ensemble du territoire montréalais. Les volets 1 et 3 sont financés dans le cadre de l’Entente sur le développement culturel de Montréal conclue entre la Ville de Montréal et le gouvernement du Québec, tandis que le volet 2 est entièrement financé par la Ville.

Le dépôt des formulaires et des dossiers doit être effectué par courriel à l’adresse suivante : artmural [arobas] montreal [point] ca avant le vendredi 12 mars 2021 à midi. Les dossiers incomplets ne pourront être présentés au jury; il est de la responsabilité de l’organisme de s’assurer de la conformité de son dossier.

6. pour commissaires

 
La revue culturelle dédiée à la scène artistique de la ville de Québec À l’est de vos empires* est à la recherche de textes éclairés et perspicaces, intelligents et stimulants, mais également accessibles et réfléchis. Nous sommes intéressés par les textes critiques consacrés au domaine des arts visuels, mais aussi par les essais artistiques et les créations poétiques.

Nous raffolons de textes traitant de la théorie des arts et désirons également lire vos comptes rendus d’expositions et d’évènements se déroulant dans la capitale.

On demande aux auteur.rice.s intéressé.e.s de faire parvenir à l’adresse d’À l’est, alestdevosempires [arobas] gmail [point] com, une courte proposition de texte (100 mots), accompagnée d’un CV et d’une biographie succincte** (50 mots).

Nous encourageons la rédaction de textes d’une longueur de 500 mots, bien que nous soyons également ouvert.e.s à des formats novateurs adaptés à vos propositions artistiques ou poétiques originales. Un cachet de 50$ sera offert à nos contributeur.rice.s suite à la publication de leur texte. Les textes retenus puis révisés par notre comité de rédaction seront publiés sur notre site web et partagés dans notre infolettre, en parallèle à nos baladodiffusions hebdomadaires.
