There are lots of deadlines coming up soon for artists’ proposals and project proposals at artist-run centres across the country. We thought we’d compile a list of these deadlines and spaces as well as list the centres that take submissions throughout the year. Just in case you’re looking for something to do over the holidays…….
We also found this really great guide to writing artist statements. And, a really comprehensive list of artist-run centres throughout the country, for future reference. Artist-run centres offer CARFAC fees to artists and curators for exhibitions; here’s CARFAC’s website, and the CARFAC fee schedule, if you’d like to learn more.
