Artsweek 2012 Call for Submissions
Deadline for submissions: Friday, June 22, 2012
Artsweek Peterborough is a multi-disciplinary showcase of the arts created in 2005 with the aim of providing opportunities for arts, culture and community to intersect. In 2011, Artsweek refreshed its programming structure; focusing on assisting producers make and present high-quality work for a wide range of audiences and participants. This change allowed Artsweek to allocate more funding for artistic production and increase the amounts granted to producers, which in turn supports better presenting conditions for artists.
Applications may come from cultural producers, curators, and other presenting organizations. Artists may not self-produce.
Definition
of a ‘Cultural Producer:’
The person, organization, or collective that is ultimately responsible
for the production, including arranging for publicity, rehearsal or working
spaces, performance or display spaces, advertising, or any other concerns
necessary to ensure a successful production.
If you would like further information or clarification, please contact us at info@artsweekpeterborough.com
We encourage the presentation of local artists as well as artists and
art projects from further afield. Projects must be presented in the City
of Peterborough during Artsweek, September 8 – 14, 2012.
Funds may be requested up to a maximum of $5000, and applications will be reviewed by a jury of arts professionals. Successful applicants will demonstrate a commitment to artistic and professional growth, works that engage audiences in an active way, and an approach that embraces innovation and diversity.
ARTSWEEK will only accept applications electronically. Please compile all sections of your application into one (1) document and email to info@artsweekpeterborough.com as either a WORD .doc or .PDF. Paste “ARTSWEEK 2012” into the subject line.
