Call for Project Proposals: Core Programming

Call for Project Proposals: Deadline March 15th, 2017

Third Space Gallery invites artists to submit proposals for our 2018 programming season. Third Space continues to operate as an itinerant artist-run centre in Saint John, New Brunswick; encouraging artists to submit proposals for projects that need not exist within a traditional gallery space. The selections committee, comprised of Third Space members will give priority to project proposals that are off-site, site-specific, or site-less. Third Space is open to proposals for short term, long term, as well as curated projects.

Third Space is seeking proposals that reflect our objectives as an alternative, non-commercial contemporary art space. We aim to present work that is exploratory, challenging and critical in nature. We encourage emerging and established artists to propose projects that have not yet been realized as well as investigations that have been started or completed elsewhere. Third Space will work with selected artists to secure a location for their work and provide a venue for open dialogue to take place.

Third Space Gallery is committed to paying artist fees in accordance to the CARFAC fee schedule. In addition to artist fees, selected projects will receive financial support for travel, accommodation, materials and promotions. We are also happy to offer assistance with finding childcare when needed.

Submissions Criteria

• A clear and concise description of project, including equipment requirements (maximum 700 words)
• 10 images (JPEG, 300 dpi maximum)
• Detailed image list, including title, medium, dimensions, year (where applicable)
• If including digital video and/or audio files, please include a weblink
• Artist CV (maximum 3 pages)
• Artist statement

Only proposals submitted electronically will be reviewed

To facilitate the growth of public knowledge of contemporary art and enhance the artistic development of local artists, curators and art writers, selected projects are often accompanied by artist talks and workshops. In your cover letter please indicate if you can offer an artist-talk or workshop, and to what age groups.

Proposals should be emailed to: thirdspacesubmissions@gmail.com with “Core Programming” in the subject line. For more information please contact Third Space at tiersespace@gmail.com
