2014/2015 Call for Submissions

The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is currently seeking submissions for the 2014-2015 programming year.

The Alternator accepts exhibition proposals from artists and curators. Selections are based on:

* Compatibility with the Alternator's mandate

* Quality of the proposal

* Quality of work submitted by the artist

SUBMISSIONS ARE REVIEWED ON AN ONGOING BASIS. CAR/FAC fees are paid. Submissions from both individual artists and groups will be considered with an emphasis on an experimental approach.

In 2014 the Alternator is inviting exhibiting artists to create an extension of their work for public space. Please include a short proposal for this secondary component along with your submission.
