GLADSTONE HOTEL: Call for Submissions
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
ATTENTION: illustrators, painters, designers, comic artists, textile artists, graffiti writers, street artists, mixed media artists, typohgraphers, print makers, animators, new media artists, craftspeople and ALL non lens-based visual artists
We’re challenging the scope of illustration in Toronto and looking for artist submissions from now until THURSDAY, JUNE 13, 2013.
IF WALLS COULD TALK: THE GLADSTONE HOTEL’S EXPERIENTIAL ILLUSTRATION SHOW
The Gladstone Hotel seeks expressions of interest for contemporary, experiential projects for its inaugural illustration event, If Walls Could Talk. This group exhibition will take place next March 6–16, 2014 at the historic Gladstone Hotel in downtown Toronto.
If Walls Could Talk will challenge Canadian and international artists to work outside their traditional practices—to occupy and alter spaces in dramatic, conceptual, or experimental ways. The majority of the site-specific work will be localized on the hotel’s second floor, but we encourage applicants to consider proposing projects for all public spaces throughout the hotel.
We encourage artists to participate independently, in collaboration with a partner, or as a team. Ideal candidates for juried consideration are practitioners who approach their disciplines with a radical personal vision. These artists/designers use illustration—or a practice related to illustration—to converse, connect, collaborate, and construct. Successful projects will create delight in the unexpected.
