Toronto Arts Council--Project Grants for Individual Artists
Deadline: September 5, 2007
Toronto Arts Council VISUAL ARTISTS
- Project Grants for Individual Artists
This program provides support to visual artists who have a professional independent art practice for the creation/production of new work or the completion of works in progress. Funds are intended to cover direct costs of creation/production, subsistence and materials. Visual Arts includes drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, printmaking, bookworks, performance art, installation and fine crafts.
The program provides two levels of support to artists at varying points in their career:
LEVEL ONE: $3,000 – for emerging artists in the early stages of their professional career, who have produced a small body of work, and achieved some local recognition and/or have limited public exhibition experience. Generally, they have had between 2 and 7 years of professional arts practice.
LEVEL TWO: $5,000 or $8,000 – for mid-career and established artists. Artists in this level may choose which amount is most appropriate for their needs.
Mid-career artists are past the early stages of their careers, have produced a reasonable body of work and have received recognition outside the local community. Generally, they have had between 8 and 14 years of professional arts practice.
Established artists have produced an extensive body of work and have achieved national or international recognition. Generally, they have had at least 15 years of professional arts practice.
General eligibility requirements
Applicants must be professional artists and meet the following criteria:
Applicants must be Canadian Citizens or Permanent Residents (Landed Immigrants) or have an application pending for Permanent Resident status and, if requested, be able to provide documentation to verify this.

2007 Application Deadline: September 5
Application Package
Challenge VII: dysFUNKtional
Deadline: November 7, 2007
Wood Turning Center
Challenge VII: dysFUNKtional
Challenge VII will showcase art which subverts, satirizes, or burlesques function. The art might even seem functional — just as long as it’s also fun and maybe a little funky. As always, lathe-turned wood objects are welcome, but so is work which incorporates other processes, or which alludes to turning and/or wood, and is offbeat, amusing, and surprising.
Visitors to Challenge VII should encounter the unexpected and entertaining. Your submission doesn’t have to come directly from Acme products. It might appear more traditional on the surface than it is on closer examination. Stories, surprises, social and political critique are all welcome.
We are looking for intense experiences of color, original uses of materials and tools, work with auditory elements, such as musical instruments, and kinetic pieces. Collaborations between artists are welcome. Video and performance are also eligible. Jurors will consider all submissions incorporating or alluding to wood and beyond.
The Wood Turning Center’s Challenge Series
The Challenge series provides international artists with a forum to push the frontiers of their craft while encouraging the public to expand its understanding and appreciation of contemporary lathe turning and wood working. The Challenge series includes works from both established and emerging international artists who seek to redefine function, decoration and sculptural form.
