Co-sponsored by Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba

Many exhibition centres offer an annual “call for submissions”. This is an opportunity for you to pitch a body of work you would like to show. This workshop will cover the essentials of applying for an exhibition at an artist-run centre or similar gallery. Although this workshop will not guarantee you success, it will ensure that your application is clear and user-friendly: essential ingredients to success. The workshop will include choosing an appropriate centre to apply to, writing your cover letter, artist statement, and project proposal, as well as arranging your support material. It will help you to look at your application from a juror’s or programmer’s point of view.
