CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: PRODUCTION MICRO-GRANTS

Although the COVID-19 pandemic has obliged us to shut down this year’s exhibition program, CLARK’s desire to support the community remains strong. That’s why our programming committee has decided to give production grants to four artists for the winter/spring 2021 season. Two grants have already been awarded to our members, while the remaining two are earmarked for two other Quebec artists to be put toward the creation of their work. Each artist will be required to give a public presentation on their project via video conference. All contemporary art practices and disciplines are eligible.
 
Terms
CLARK’s programming committee will give out two grants of $1,250 each. Selected recipients must begin working on their project during the winter or spring of 2021. If needed, each selected artist or art collective will have access to up to 16 hours of technical support at Atelier CLARK (artists must pay for materials), and some of the Centre’s technical equipment will also be made available. The date and format of the public presentation will be determined with the Centre’s staff at a later time. The project will be professionally documented upon completion, and all promotional aspects will be covered by the Centre.

*Please note that these micro-grants are intended for artists who have not received any prior support for this project (i.e. from a funding agency or gallery). The call is open to Quebec residents only.

Submissions must include:
– your complete coordinates (name, email, phone number, website);
– a brief description of your proposed project (approx. 150 words);
– a paragraph explaining how this grant will be used (approx. 150 words);
– support materials (choose one): website, 5 images max. (photos, sketches, etc.), audio/video clips, etc.;
– a CV
– specify if you have access to a studio.
 
Deadline: February 10, 2021
