Nocturne: Art at Night

 DEADLINE: April 2, 2024 (ONLINE), (PHONE), (VIDEO), (AUDIO), VIA EMAIL


Nocturne: Art at Night
Halifax, NS
October 17 – 20, 2024


Nocturne is currently seeking artists to participate in our 2024 programming through the development of temporary public artworks that will be exhibited during the signature night-time art experience taking place on Saturday, October 19. Nocturne’s 2024 curator, Shuvanjan Karmaker, has selected the theme of Microcosm as a platform for artists to consider and share stories and to create connections around shared love, experiences, tragedies, and/or responsibilities.

Nocturne pays successful applicants an equitable CARFAC 2024 Fee Schedule, which includes material/production, accessibility, artist care, and travel.

• We encourage proposals that reflect Nocturne’s core values as an independent, non-commercial, and contemporary art festival.
• We encourage emerging artists, creatives, arts workers, and makers to apply.
• We aim to support efforts that are exploratory, challenging, and critical in nature.
• We encourage applicants to propose new work as well as projects that have been started or completed elsewhere.
• We encourage artists in all mediums to apply.
• We seek to view applicants from a lens of equity and aim to create space for equal opportunities.
• We encourage proposals for interactive and engaging installations.
• We are committed to reducing barriers at our festival and do our best to ensure the venues and projects at Nocturne reflect those commitments.

We encourage all applicants to consider their relationship to the land; Nocturne is an opportunity and platform to re-imagine the spaces of our city, both built and natural, and to interrogate the systems and institutions that govern those spaces. It is also a platform to consider the lived and experienced cultural landscapes that make up our city. 

The land (and waters) where Nocturne takes place is Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral, unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship,” which Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaq Peoples first signed with the British crown in 1725. It’s important that we say unceded and unsurrendered because acts that violate these treaties are happening every day here in Mi’kma’ki and all across Turtle Island. We are all treaty people, and Nocturne strives to uphold the relationships outlined in these treaties that govern this land. 

We also acknowledge the significant foundations that the infrastructure and culture of Black and African Nova Scotian communities have contributed and continue to contribute to this province and country. Nocturne continues to collaborate, amplify, and connect with the many art communities that live and work here in Mi'kma'ki. The Native Land Interactive Map is a great resource and educational tool for learning more about Indigenous territories, treaties, and languages.

For accessibility purposes, Nocturne will also accept proposals via phone, video, or audio file as needed by the applicant. Please get in touch via email at info@nocturnehalifax.ca to arrange this submission type. This process will take approximately one hour, and it will include a recorded interview that takes place between an organizer or committee member and the applicant to go through each section of the application together. The conversation will be recorded and shared with the jury via video or transcription.

International TECHstyle Art Biennial

Deadline: APRIL 2, 2012 (POSTMARK)

International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB)
San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles
San Jose, CA
August 7 – October 21, 2012


The International TECHstyle Art Biennial (ITAB) is a juried exhibition of work by artists merging fiber media with new information and communication technologies in their artistic processes, as a medium of artistic expression, and/or in the content of their work. Leveraging its location in Silicon Valley, ITAB serves as the premiere platform for introducing the work of artists exploring the intersection of fiber and technology to a global community that assembles — virtually and in the real world — at San Jose's Biennial Zero1: 2012 01SJ Biennial.

As fibers, textiles, and the language of textile patterning have achieved wide attention in contemporary art practice—often as a means of evoking an experience that is both historical and contemporary—ITAB seeks to expose and explore the tensions between and among works by artists using fiber media whose work employs diverse artistic disciplines. We welcome submissions from artists in the fields of architecture, fashion, fiber art, installation art, interior design, new media, painting, sculpture, etc. Artwork demonstrating a keen understanding and mastery of the aesthetic, structural/technical, and semiotic possibilities of fiber and of digital, computerized, or networked information and communication technologies are the hallmark of the San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles’ International TECHstyle Art Biennial.


1. Artists may submit up to three (3) works.
2. Entries must be original work completed after January 1, 2009.
3. Artists must be 18 years of age or older.
4. Collaborative work will be considered as a single entry. Artists submitting both collaborative and individual works must apply separately.
5. Work must not exceed 10 feet in any single dimension.
6. Installation pieces must state total space requirement on entry form.
7. Work must be original in concept and design and not be the result of a class or workshop. Student work is accepted if it meets the previous statement.
8. All work must be either fiber in content or executed in a fiber technique.


Entry Fee: $35.00
