Applying for Exhibitions with Tammy Sutherland: Wednesday, February 18, 2015, 7-9:30pm at MAWA $10 members of MAWA or ACI; $20 non-members No need to register, just show up!
Whether you are ready to apply for your first solo exhibition or simply want to respond to a submission call for a group show, this workshop will help you build some of the basic skills you will need to be successful. The workshop will look at what is involved in preparing an application: what to include in a CV; how to write an artist statement, bio, project proposal and cover letter; and how to prepare support materials. Discussion will include how to know when you’re ready to apply and how best to target your applications. Through practical examples and anecdotes from behind the scenes, Sutherland will demystify the “administrivia” of an art practice. All Artist Bootcamps are presented in partnership with Arts and Cultural Industries Association of Manitoba (ACI)

Since 2009, Tammy Sutherland’s passion for contemporary craft has found a home at the Manitoba Craft Council where she is the Programme Coordinator. She has received hundreds of responses for calls for submissions, so she is well versed in what works and what doesn’t. Sutherland studied textiles, craft history and photography at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and has worked with a number of community-based arts initiatives in Winnipeg. Arts administration and unschooling her sons are the bricks of her life, and knitting is the mortar that holds it all together.
