Call for Submissions

PROOF - Artists in the early stages

Deadline: 
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 - 5pm

PROOF is an annual exhibition of photo-based work by Canadian Emerging Artists.

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.
