Proof 21 Call for Emerging Canadian Artists

Deadline: 
Friday, November 1, 2013 - 5pm

Proof is Gallery 44’s annual exhibition of photo-based work by Canadian emerging artists reflecting a range of current concerns and practices in contemporary photography from across the country. Proof is often one of the first exhibitions in a professional context for an emerging artist as was the case for artists such as Karin Bubas, Janieta Eyre, Isabelle Hayeur, Germaine Koh, Nicholas Pye, Althea Thauberger, and Andrew Wright.

Gallery View- work by Mike Andrew Maclean, Elise Victoria Windsor, PROOF 18, 2011

Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography is a non-profit artist-run centre committed to photography as a multi-faceted and ever-changing art form. We encourage the submission of exhibition proposals from artists in the early stages of their careers for this annual group exhibition. Consistent with our overall programming objectives, this exhibition highlights the work of artists who are innovative in their use of the medium and approach to subject matter. PROOF is not intended to represent a particular theme but rather to reflect a range of current concerns and practices in contemporary Canadian photography.
