CALL TO ARTISTS

Look Around

Deadline: Wednesday, 20 April 2022 at 11:59PM EDT (0359 UTC). As part of World Collage Day 2022, Quebec Collage invites amateur and professional collagists from around the world to participate in “Look Around” by creating a circular collage. This project is inspired by the meditative exercises of the Japanese Enso. Participants are called on to explore their individuality, beauty, imagination, promotional gestures, and intuition. “Look Around” invites the participants to make their own circle, create within that space, and then open up to others by looking without judgment at their works, contemplating and marveling at their diversity.

CALL TO ARTISTS

Collagists in the Archives

Deadline: Sunday, 17 April 2022. The materials collage artists use for the artwork can play a critical role in the work’s meaning and how it makes its way into the world. Historical archives, when one understands how to use them, can be fruitful grounds. In this virtual Residency, held in May 2022, collage artists will learn how to work with an archive to build a project that speaks to themes of community and history. Centered around the Stewart-Swift Research Center at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury, Vermont, participating artists will explore their collections and develop tools they can use to work with archives in their home communities. During the residency, artists will make a collage and write a brief statement about the material used and what the collage says about community, the material in the archive and its history. The resulting artwork will be considered for an exhibition at the Henry Sheldon Museum and for inclusion in a folio of prints and a book. MORE
