Call for Exhibition Proposals: Photography
Tentative Exhibition Dates: February 4th – April 19th, 2024
Deadline to apply: Monday, October 14th, 2024 - 11:59pm (AST)
Struts Gallery is seeking proposals for an exhibition of photographic and lens-based work. Located in a 120-year-old building worn by time, our gallery is well used and versatile, with white walls, a weathered ceiling, and a painted grey tile floor. The space is functional but not precious. It offers a unique layout with vast potential for physical, psychic, or conceptual alteration beyond framed artworks on a wall.
We invite proposals from artists at all career stages based in the Atlantic region (Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI) to present work that sits outside of and/or transforms traditional forms of photography – landscape, portraiture, street, documentary, and still-life. We welcome proposals from artists from groups that have historically been underrepresented in gallery spaces, such as Indigenous, Black, artists of colour, disability-identified, and 2SLGBTQIA+ artists. Proposals from artists who work with non-traditional, experimental forms of making and displaying lens-based work are highly encouraged. Struts houses a wide variety of media art gear that the artist can use in their installation.
This exhibition opportunity is in partnership with Photo East, a new annual contemporary photography festival that specializes in lens-based art and photo work from across Atlantic Canada, exhibited alongside visiting national and international artists. The first iteration of this festival will take place in Moncton and Sackville, NB in April 2025 and will include exhibitions, talks, workshops, and more. The exhibition will be on display during the festival's main week, with several lens-based artists, curators, and writers in attendance.
Struts will provide:
Artist fee according to CARFAC exhibition rate
Shipping expenses
Use of our media arts equipment
Installation assistance
Promotion and documentation of the exhibition
In preparing your submission, please consult Struts floor plan. Proposals are to be tailored to gallery space 1. Gallery space 1 consists of three walls – One 4.5m, one 3.88M, and one 7.2M.
