Open Call for Proposals: L’Ambiance
Short-term Art Projects During Sappyfest (August 1-3, 2025)
Deadline to Apply: Tuesday, February 18, 11:59pm Atlantic Time
Struts Gallery is seeking submissions for L’Ambiance, our series of short-term artist projects running contemporaneous to everyone’s favourite music festival Sappyfest taking place August 1 - 3, 2025.
Artists and artist collectives are welcome to propose projects that transform different areas of Sackville or Struts Gallery facilities into memorable, creative spaces. We are interested in ongoing, ambient projects that invite festival goers to engage with and participate in the art in some capacity. We encourage projects that animate zones, create respite from the festival’s noise, and/or provide catalysts for connection and engagement. We welcome use of our extensive media arts equipment holdings in the creation and/or execution of the project. Projects that occur outdoors and offsite are encouraged!
Eligible mediums include offsite installations, sound art, relational aesthetics, screenings/projections, and portable sculpture.
• Time based projects should run for a hefty portion of the festival and should not require a dedicated audience or performance time.
• Sculptural works should be durable and not require monitoring or surveillance.
Struts will provide:
Artist fees in accordance with the 2025 CARFAC Fee Schedule for group exhibition or festival performance
Per diems
Accommodations
Travel expenses
Festival pass for Sappyfest - access to Sappyfest artist meal services.
Use of our media arts equipment and technical support
Installation assistance and logistical support
Promotion and documentation of the work
Who can apply?
Artists and Artist Collectives at all career stages across so-called Canada. Struts is dedicated to presenting work that reflects the diversity of disciplines and media that shape contemporary art practices. Proposals from artists whose works are alternative, experimental and/or critically engaged are encouraged. We welcome proposals from artists and groups that have historically been underrepresented in the gallery, including Indigenous people, Black people, people of colour, and 2SLGBTQIA+.
