CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS – WINDOW SHOWCASE PROJECT

Deadline: December 15 th, 2019

La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse is a platform for contemporary feminist art practices that engage in intersectional, intercultural and multidisciplinary methods of working.

The centre welcomes submissions by self-identified under-represented artists working in dialogue with issues of gender equality and social justice. La Centrale is an artist-run non-hierarchical organization. As such, the programming is selected and built by a committee composed of active members.

The window showcase is a space of diffusion which offers the artists a visibility directly on one of the most animated streets of Montreal, the boulevard Saint-Laurent. Submitted projects are encouraged to use the window as a purposeful framing element, and to engage the neighborhood's residents and passers-by. The Centrale welcomes visual artists of all disciplines and projects that resonates with the mandate of the center. The committee encourages projects that do not require a complicated technical approach since the workers will not be on site during the periods reserved for the windows.
