Appels de dossiers
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, please fill in the form - downloadable here - where you will mention the type of merchandise you wish to sell, the date(s) you are interested in, as well as your name and phone number.
2. Interventions/actions/
performances/music
Throughout the three days, La Centrale will also offer the space in front of, or around, the gallery for you to present actions/interventions and performances (without artist fee). Interactive projects are encouraged (the street being closed to car trafic) as the sidewalk sale offers a new and diversified audiencec. Technical support will be provided if needed. Please fill in the form - downloadable here - where you must give a brief description of your proposition and specify your technical requirements.
3. Workshops
Propositions for 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 at no charge tables and chairs, as well as necessary basic tools (scissors, X-acto knives, tape, etc.). These must also take place outside. Download form here.
Deadline August 1th 2011.
We will accept proposals sent by email (programmation@lacentrale.org) and by regular mail.
It is recommended to reserve your tables by phone asap, since reservations are made on a first come, first served basis.
[The complete program of Boom-Chix-A-Boom #12 will be sent to our mailing list and should be made available on our web site as of August 19th.]
Thank you for spreading the word!
