Pushing Boundaries [Reboot]: International Experimental Art Symposium Calling for Presenters

Inviting local, regional and international expressions of Interest.

The International Society of Experimental Artists (ISEA) 31st annual symposium, titled “Pushing Boundaries [Reboot]”, is coming to St. Alberta, Alberta, Canada in 2022. The Society is looking for art educators, visual artists, and arts business-development experts to fill 5 exciting days of programming from September 1-5 2022. The Call for Presenters is open now, until November 5 2021.

Pushing Boundaries [Reboot] is all about innovation and encouraging creativity. Rick Rogers, Chairperson of the local organizing committee says, "We are calling for presenters who have intriguing topics to teach, to talk about, and to explore with symposium participants. Our aim is to provide inspiring speakers, discussions, workshops and demos for artists of all skill levels and various stages of career development."

Pushing Boundaries was originally scheduled for 2020, also in St. Albert, but was postponed due to COVID-19. Since then, many artists have experienced isolation and report reduced creative 'oomph'. This Symposium offers refreshment in the form of networking, learning, creative sharing of ideas, and hands-on art-making. Inspirational presenters are the catalyst to inspire artists! Download the Call For Presenters and the Expression of Interest Form now, and get ready to inspire!

This event is the first that ISEA has hosted in Canada. ISEA is very pleased to partner with the Art Gallery of St. Albert (AGSA), who will host and curate “INNOVATIONS 2022,” ISEA’s 31st annual international, open, juried exhibition which will run mid August and September 2022. A call for artist submissions to this open exhibition will be released in March, 2022.
