Call: Expressions of Interest from Visual Artists

Call for Expressions of Interest from Visual Artists

The Saskatchewan Arts Board and Canadian Western Agribition are looking for visual artists who are interested in working on an education project on the Agribition grounds in Regina during the week of November 19 to 23, 2007.

The project will be similar to a school residency. The contracted artist(s) will work with Grade 4 to 8 students to create a sculpture or mural on-site using recyclable materials. The artist(s) will design a project suitable for student participation and Agribition will provide the required materials.

Artists should be able to appreciate a high-energy environment, as students will be coming and going from the site during the project hours of 10 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. daily. The project details are not yet finalized, but interested artists should contact Dianne Warren by October 19 to express their interest.

The Arts Board has an ongoing partnership with Agribition and is pleased to assist them in developing this project.

Media Arts Residency Program: The Western Front



The Media Arts Residency Program at the Western Front promotes
experimentation and innovation by inviting local, national, and
international artists to research and produce new works in media arts.
In keeping with the Western Front's emphasis on the interdisciplinary,
this program forefronts unique explorations of undefined creative
arenas including, but not limited to: site-specific gestures,
experimental projects, process pieces and unusual initiatives in media
art practice today.

The Media Arts program seeks to present a range of artists: artists
of all levels of experience are strongly encouraged to apply, as are
artists from diverse sexual orientations and cultural backgrounds.
Applications from artists from other disciplines who wish to expand
their creative practices into media arts are welcomed.

Projects are made possible through access to production facilities
and technical support from an expert team of qualified staff and
volunteers. Financial support is available in the form of travel
expenses and artist fees. Residency length varies according to
personal needs and can range in duration from one week to six weeks.
