"Call for Artists: Emerging Professional Canadians Working in Any Media"
2007-03-29 until 2007-05-01
Balcone Art Society (bal.co.ny)
Vancouver, BC, CA Canada

Emerging Canadian artists working in any medium and pursuing their practice on a professional basis are invited to answer Balcone's first annual call for submissions. Balcone is a newly incorporated non-profit society for contemporary art based out of Vancouver . The vision is to create a unique context - outside of traditional frameworks - for the practice, curation, and exhibition of contemporary art in Vancouver and beyond. Balcone's mission is to support and promote emerging Canadian artists by focusing on curation, exhibition, research, criticism, and the development of a professional practice.

Twelve artists will be selected by Balcone's directors to participate and collaborate in the first year of programming. Accepted artists will have a hosted profile and portfolio on Balcone's website, will participate in a series of workshops and plenary sessions with the aim of accelerating professional development, and will be available for a group exhibition of new work from Balcone artists in Vancouver during September 2007. By mentoring, promoting and publishing these artists and their works, Balcone's directors aim to provide new territory for the support and development of emerging artists in Canada.

To be considered for inclusion in our 2007-2008 programs please submit the following information via email to submissions@balcone.org with the subject line reading "2007-08":

* curriculum vitae, recent, including full contact information and weblinks to show archives, if applicable

* artist statement, 500 words

* 10-12 examples of work with descriptions, including title, date, medium. Preference is for weblinks pointing to the artist's own hosted portfolio, though where this is not possible we shall accept attachments of low-resolution JPEG's, Quicktime movies or AIFF's to a total of fifteen megabytes per applicant.

Full time students are not eligible. Only email submissions will be accepted. For more information, please visit: www.balcone.org
