ARTISTS, ESSAYISTS AND CURATORS
Hamilton Artists Inc.’s exhibition schedule is committed through to 2016. The current deadline for submissions is NOVEMBER 1st.
SELECTION CRITERIA
We are looking for dynamic proposals from artists and curators at various stages of their careers and from across disciplines. The main criteria for selection in the Cannon Gallery is to fulfill the Inc.’s mandate and objectives. Additionally, as an artist-run centre, the Inc. is interested in works that have potential impact, push boundaries and engage with critical, conceptual and/or experimental contexts.
Additional Criteria: The Inc. is mandated to exhibit a range of disciplines and career levels (emerging, mid-career and established), and to exhibit a cross-section of artists from local, regional and national communities. The Inc. supports international visits where possible. The Selections Committee for the Cannon St Gallery takes place annually and chooses 2 to 4 exhibitions 2 to 3 years in advance for the exhibition schedule. The Selections Committee is dedicated to diversity in the selections process. The Programming Coordinator curates one exhibition of their choice per year. Special projects are chosen by the Annual Selections Committee (including off-site projects, installations for the Cannon Project Wall and front reception area). Special projects are mounted whenever possible, dependent upon the success of securing funds.
Please note: We ask that you submit all information on a CD or via email to selections@theinc.ca. Please indicate that this submission is for the Cannon Gallery. Submissions (excluding images) should be merged into a single pdf. Paper submissions.
