Call for submissions
Call for Proposals: Ed Video's 2008/2009 Programming Year
Deadline: March 3, 2008
Ed Video Media Arts Centre in Guelph, Ontario is inviting submissions
by artists and curators for the upcoming programming season of
September 2008 - September 2009. Our annual Exhibition and
Screening series presents regional, national and international
video-based media art work. We encourage a strong curatorial
and artistic practice that is challenging, stimulating, and provocative.
Both emerging and established artists/curators should apply, and
we are interested in all genres of media arts - experimental, narrative,
documentary, feature, installation and inter-disciplinary. Our aim is to
also ensure our presentations address the interests of a diverse audience,
are relevant in the local and national media art community, and support
the development of our producing members. Please send any support
material you wish such as:
• Names of artists and works to be presented
• A brief curatorial statement or description of the work(s)
• A Curriculum Vitae
• Preview tape/DVD of the submitted work
• A proposed budget covering all costs of screening/exhibition
• A self-addressed, stamped envelope if you wish it to be returned
Selections will be based on:
• Compatibility with Ed Video's mandate
• Quality of the work submitted
• Quality of the proposal
• Availability of space/money
Ed Video encourages submissions from curators/artists of all ethnic, cultural, and
religious backgrounds. We support artists through the payment of artist and copyright
fees according to the guidelines established by CAR/FAC
(Canadian Artists' Representation/Fronts des Artistes Canadiens).
All submissions will be considered by a Selection Committee made up of
artists, curators, community members and Ed Video members. Ed
Video facilitates programming and exhibitions on and off site.
