The New Gallery +15 call for submissions
The New Gallery (TNG) is committed to providing opportunities and venues for artists that foster social and political creative practices, while engaging and educating audiences through contemporary art. TNG’s +15 Window is located in the Arts Commons building (205 8 Ave. SE) on a high-traffic pedestrian walkway. The +15 Window is a shallow vitrine best suited for small-scale installations and/or displays. All exhibitions are eight weeks in duration. A floor plan and submission details can be downloaded on our website: http://www.thenewgallery.org/submit/15window/
Surrounded by similar windows programmed by Calgary’s other artist-run centres and visual arts organizations (TRUCK Contemporary Art in Calgary, Stride Gallery, Untitled Art Society, Alberta Printmakers, the Marion Nicoll Gallery, the University of Calgary Faculty of Arts, and Alberta Craft Council), the +15 Window provides a flexible exhibition platform capable of engaging Calgary’s diverse downtown audience as well as the local artistic community. Applicants should familiarize themselves with this unique space prior to submitting. TNG is most interested in proposals that make specific use of the +15 Window’s highly-public location in our city’s core. Exhibiting artists are offered a fee of $452 to show their work (commensurate with 2016 CARFAC Fee Schedule – A.1.6), and a modest budget for shipping costs, negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
