BOOM-CHIX-A-BOOM #10 [2010]
La Centrale invites you to participate in the 9th edition of Boom-Chix-A-Boom, taking place during the sidewalk on the Main from Friday, August 27th to Sunday, August 29th 2010. As a feminist artist-run centre, La Centrale is proud to offer, once again, an alternative to the commercial activities of boulevard Saint-Laurent.
Here are some ways to participate:
1. Renting tables/selling stuff
As usual, we’re giving you the possibility to infiltrate the Saint-Laurent Sidewalk Sale at a very affordable price. Our Boom Bazaar hosts about 10 tables per day in front of the gallery. Each table is approximately 3’X3’ and is available for a small fee of 15$/day (10$ for our members). Places are limited, so reserve your spot quickly: make sure you take full advantage of these high traffic days on the Main! In your proposal, don't forget to mention the type of merchandise you will be selling, the date(s) you are interested in, as well as your phone number.
2. Interventions-performances-music
Throughout the three days, La Centrale will also host actions/interventions and performances in front of, or around, the gallery. Interactive projects are encouraged as the sidewalk sale offers a new and diversified audience. Technical support will be provided if needed.
3. Workshops
Workshops of all sorts are also welcome. In the past, we have hosted drawing, silk-screen, plush objects and stencil-art workshops. We will provide outdoor workspaces with tables and chairs, as well as necessary basic tools (scissors, X-acto knives, tape, etc.).
Deadline
August 1st, 2010.
We will accept proposals sent by email (programmation@lacentrale.org) and by regular mail.
It is recommended to reserve your tables asap, since reservations are made on a first come, first served basis.
We await your amazing projects !
[The complete program of Boom-Chix-A-Boom #10 will be sent to our mailing list and made available on our web site as of August 15th.]
Thank you for spreading the word!
