Calls For Submission


Art City
Request for Proposals
2012 Guest Artist Series

Art City invites local, national, and international artists to submit proposals to lead workshop-based art projects at our studio in 2012.
Art City is located in West Broadway, a culturally diverse and densely populated neighbourhood in the heart of Winnipeg’s inner city. Art City is open free-of-charge and drop-in to anyone who would like to take part, engaging an average of 25 participants per evening. The majority of those who come to Art City are youth between the ages of 6 and 13 years. Older youth, adults, and seniors also regularly participate in Art City programs.

Selected guest artists will be supported in developing, managing, and facilitating their projects by a team of experienced Art City staff and volunteers. The standard guest artist format is a 5-day period, Monday to Friday, 3:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Artists will receive $1,400.00 for the one-week project. Travel and accommodation for selected visiting artists will be provided by Art City.

In addition to this format, Art City also invites proposals presenting alternative community art projects and formats to be included in our 2012 Guest Artist Series.
