The works chosen to be exhibited will be exhibited for one or more weeks commencing on Thursday the 1st, then the following Thursdays on the 8th and 15th.

The selected artists might be asked to participate in events such as workshops or discussions and or other similar activities that will take place during the exhibition.

Artists who would like to participate are requested to send in a proposal that takes into account the following conditions.

Participation is open to young artists of any nationality, representation as individuals or group works.

La Minute Vidéo Folie/Culture, Québec

Open call for video submissions
Deadline: February 28, 2010

Folie/Culture is offering the possibility to whomever — recognized artists or not, members, family and friends or workers in the social sphere— to involve themselves in an experiment that will call for original reflection in the production of a one-minute video.

For the 2010 edition, the theme is the “Loser.” The theme of the loser examines the question of the social conception of success. In a world where this invariably means the accumulation of wealth and where economic discourse dominates all discourse, those who do not fit into the mould, such as the mad, the poor and the marginalized are considered as the super losers of a system that has no pity for those who have “failed” their lives. Well, what if the loser was just the extreme edge of freedom?

The selected minutes will be shown in Québec City at a special evening during 2010 in a public space.

To participate, you must produce a video — fiction, documentary, art video— in a single sequence of an uninterrupted minute.

Please take Note:
No editing is allowed,
and only original music is accepted.
Formats: min-dv, CD or DVD data

Artadia Awards 2010 Houston

APPLICATIONS FOR ARTADIA AWARDS 2010 HOUSTON
Deadline: March 01, 2010

New York, NY – Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue is now accepting applications for the Artadia Awards 2010 Houston from all visual artists living and working in Houston, Harris County, Texas. Individual artists and collaboratives working in all media and at any point in their career are strongly encouraged to apply. Open for three months, online applications close March 1, 2010 at 11:59pm CST. Awardees will be selected in the spring of 2010 through Artadia’s rigorous two- tiered jury process. This is Artadia’s fifth awards cycle in Houston.

Artadia's Executive Director Lila Kanner and Program Manager Ute Zimmermann will be hosting an information session at Lawndale Art Center on January 28, 2010 at 6pm to answer questions about the awards program, the selection process, and the online application. The information session is free and open to the public. No rsvp is required.

“Artadia is delighted to open our fifth cycle of awards open to all artists in Harris County/Houston and encourages all visual artists, working in all media and at all stages of their career to apply for our panel review. Of the 45 artists that have won Artadia Awards in Houston since our first Houston program, well more than two-thirds of the artists are still living and working in Houston,” commented Artadia Executive Director Lila Kanner. “The presence of so many great artists, nonprofits, cultural institutions, and individuals committed to supporting creative culture makes Houston one of the most vibrant cities in the country. We are deeply honored as an organization to have worked with the community since 2003.”

Artadia hopes to build on the 2008 cycle’s record number of applications received for the 2010 open call. An esteemed panel of nationally known curators, arts professionals, and artists will review all applications in New York in March and select 15 finalists, who will be announced in early April 2010. A second round jury will then travel to Houston for 45-minute studio visits with each of the finalists and determine the seven Artadia Awardees 2010 Houston later that month. Two awards of $15,000 and five of $3,000 will be distributed.

“Houston Endowment has historically cultivated the arts in the community and supported artistic achievement,” said Houston Endowment grant officer Debbie McNulty. “Artadia’s work to encourage innovative artistic practice and meaningful dialogue about contemporary art is well- aligned with the foundation’s belief that the value of the arts comes through both the creative expression of the artist and the experience of that expression by others.”

Visionary support for Artadia in Houston is provided by Houston Endowment, Inc. and many generous individuals in Houston who share a deep commitment to supporting the arts. Special thanks to Lawndale Art Center.

About Artadia: The Fund for Art and Dialogue

Artadia’s mission is to encourage innovative practice and meaningful dialogue across the United States by providing visual artists in specific communities with unrestricted awards and a national network of support. Artadia was founded as The ArtCouncil in 1997 by investment banker and art collector Christopher E. Vroom. The first awards were given in San Francisco, where Vroom was living at the time. Chicago was added as a program city in 2001. In 2003, Artadia added Houston to its roster, Boston in 2007, and Atlanta in 2009. Once Artadia commits to a community, it returns every other year to run its awards programs and, on the off years, it co-sponsors a public program with a local institution. Started as an individual’s vision, Artadia’s base of support now includes private foundations, a national Board of Directors, a National Council, and members who are active in supporting the core of creative culture: the individual artist.

Artadia Awards are determined through a rigorous jury process that employs nationally prominent curators, artists, and critics. Artadia partners with local foundations and individuals in the host cities to raise funds that go directly to artists in that community. Artadia matches those contributions by providing the funds that administer the program. Once an artist receives an Artadia Award, he or she becomes part of a national network of support forever.

Last year Artadia launched a New York Artist Residency program, which brings Artadia Awardees from each of its program cities to New York for a three-month residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP) in Brooklyn. This groundbreaking addition to Artadia’s commitment to individual artists is the first of its kind in New York City for US-based visual artists and is supported by the National Endowment for Arts. Artadia also presents events in New York and Miami, which are intended to not only demonstrate the tremendous creativity in partner communities, but also facilitate exchange and dialogue nationwide.

Broad interpretations of "portrait" and "self-portrait" are welcome.

Accepting all artworks which can be screened in video (including film, video, motion graphics, animation, programming, game interfaces, flip books, etc.)  Due to scheduling limitations, works under 5 minutes preferred.

Exhibition of the curated show will be at Cornell Cinema in April 2010.

Proposals for Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site, Philadelphia, PA

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site seeks proposals for its 2011 tour season and beyond

Full details are available on the website at
http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php

Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world's first true "penitentiary," a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts. Its vaulted, sky-lit cells once held many of America's most notorious criminals, including bank robber Willie Sutton and Al Capone.  

Tours today include the cellblocks, solitary punishment cells, Al Capone's Cell, and Death Row.
A critically-acclaimed series of artists installations is free with admission.
