Artist-in-Residency

Ongoing

The Alternator solicits proposals for themed residencies by visiting artists on an ongoing basis, pending availability of project funding. Submissions are reviewed by a selection committee composed of gallery staff and board members.
 
The following submission package is required:
    •  A brief description (maximum 250 words) clearly outlining the exhibition you are proposing
    •  Artist statement - maximum 500 words
    •  Curriculum vitae
    •  10-20 slides with name and title. Video artists may submit a video no longer than 5 minutes
    •  Slide list detailing medium and size
    •  Self addressed, sufficiently stamped envelope
 
Incomplete proposals will not be considered.
 
If sending digital images, please submit them in jpeg format on a CD compatible with Macintosh operating systems. Applications submitted by e-mail are not accepted. As the selection process includes consideration of proposals by a committee and the Alternator does not own a laptop computer, it is a good idea to include prints with your submission that can be passed between committee members during the jurying process.
 
Selections are based on:
    •  Compatibility with the Alternator's mandate and the theme of the residency
    •  Quality of the proposal
    •  Quality of work submitted by the artist
    •  Availability of space and resources
    •  Potential for successful engagement with the community
