15 EXHIBITION: ADD OIL MACHINE 打氣機 In collaboration with Hong Kong Exile Curated by Melissa Lee and Aaron Levy Organized by Slought Foundation in collaboration with the Add Oil Team, this virtual exhibition seeks to spread awareness about the power of individual and collective assemblage and the formation of community and solidarity through art. In commemoration of the final days of protests one year earlier, the project will launch online on December 10, 2015, raising questions about archivization and historicization, and how institutions record and display protest movements and cultural resistance. Here, in Vancouver, Canada, we will be presenting it in the form of an outdoor projection and installation.
The title of the exhibition is derived from “Stand By You: Add Oil Machine 並肩上: 打 氣機” a spontaneous four-month project by artists Sampson Wong (黃宇軒), Jason Lam (林志輝) and friends that strategically projected political writing on key government buildings in Hong Kong.

16 EXHIBITION: JAYEONMI (NATURAL BEAUTY) WORKS BY ILSOO KYUNG To December 10, 2016
In my multimedia works I attempt to impart a moment in time that depicts elements of past, present, and future. Although they result in images of places or things, my artworks have more to do with the way I personally interpret what I see. My work is grounded in the natural world, but looks beyond the scenic to search for symbols and meaning in all that I encounter. My style is representational, with special attention to detail, structure and form. I want my visual, tactile, heart-felt creations to open the door to various potential meanings fabricated by the viewer in such a way that emotions can be stirred. -Ilsoo Kyung

19 EXHIBITION: ON @ ACCESS GALLERY
THE FORESHORE A collaborative pursuit and shared space between Access Gallery and Other Sights for Artists’ Projects, generating questions, confluence, and aggregation inspired by the conditions of the foreshore.
The Foreshore is a year-long collaboration between Access Gallery and Other Sights’ for Artist Projects inspired by the deep influence of the waterways on our cities and societies on the West Coast. The storefront next to Access’ gallery space at 222 East Georgia will be activated by a series of open sessions, screenings, work- ins, mini-artist residencies, and open studios. We are motivated by our organizations’ intersecting concerns, and by the increased potential for artists and audiences in joining forces.
The “foreshore” describes the land along the edge of the water that is both submerged and revealed by the tide. Very simply, it is the wet part of the beach. The foreshore is a place of unclear jurisdiction, and thus of contestation, friction, and constant movement. Those who dwell in this zone must continually adapt to a changing environment. The foreshore also conjures histories specific to this region: narratives of trade and exchange, habitation and nourishment, resistance and violent erasure. It might similarly evoke our contemporary lived situation in this place. Considering the potential of this zone as both concept and site, The Foreshore initiative asks the following: how do we generate conditions of emergence? How can we take up space differently? How do we support unruly practices and futures?

40 RESIDENCY: WANDER LINES: MYTHODOLOGICAL ESCAPISM August 13-19, 2017 Saysutshun – Newcastle Island, BC; Snuneymuxw First Nation Traditional Territory $720 + HST (includes $25 fee for salmon bake) Application deadline is December 15.
What is wandering if not an imagined escape? How might we change our ways of thinking? Mythodology is a call to develop creative means of imagining new forms of thought—ones that seek to break free of old logics and scientific processes reducing life to standards and measures. As mythodologists we seek to imagine, create, desire and affect new forms of research, life and living. Mythos is ontogenetic: it remains ontologically unstable and pries open potentially new forms-of-life. Wandering creates and connects intricate paths and flight lines both metaphorically and materially, remaking in order to escape the rootedness of knowledge—towards perambulatory paraknowledge. In this meeting of MLS we will collectively work with pathic knowledges and alter- writings, reconfigured sensations and microgestures, irrationalisms and becoming- termites, strings and fields, walking and symbiosis, fabulations and hyperstitions— with the land as co-storyteller.
Murmur Land Studios is an experimental field school initiative offering event-based pedagogy in art, philosophy, movement, ecology and community for the post- anthropocene era. Our attempt is to curate spaces of creative inquiry which attract diverse makers, thinkers and doers together around thematic concerns relevant to the challenging times which lay before us.
Our residencies are held as camping-based opportunities to (mostly) gain a reprieve from the grid and reconnect with the land, oriented around morning sessions of critical dialogue in the style of seminars or roundtable discussions, followed by open studio sessions in the afternoon for event participants to pursue individual creative projects connected to the event theme. In August 2017 our theme will be Wander Lines: Mythdological Escapism.
More information can be found here: https://murmurlandstudios.net/2017-18-programme/wander-lines/
Please see our web site for more information about MLS, Wander Lines: Mythodological Escapism, or our other events taking place across Canada in 2017- 18. Please also share with friends, colleagues or students interested in Art, Philosophy, Community, Futurism, Storytelling, Science Fiction, Ecology, Land & Micropolitics. Our events are open to participants from all educational backgrounds.
Thank you and warmest wishes on behalf of the MLS Curatorial Collective,

55 EXHIBITION: NUIT BLANCHE TORONTO - CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Calling all Toronto-based and Canadian-based artists! The Open Call submission deadline by email is 11:59 p.m. on Monday, December 19, 2016.
Nuit Blanche Toronto is now accepting submissions to the Open Call Project program for the event's 12th edition, happening on September 30, 2017 from sunset to sunrise.
Open Call Projects The Open Call Projects program is an opportunity for artists to be guided and mentored by a Nuit Blanche Toronto curator and have a project produced and funded by the City of Toronto.
The impressive calibre and diversity of Open Call Projects featured at the event over the years includes artists such as: Ame Henderson, Brandy Leary/Anandam Dancetheatre, Eleanor King, Faith La Rocque, Kelly Mark, Labspace Studio, Rhonda Weppler & Trevor Mahovsky, VSVSVS and Workparty.
To mark Canada's 150th anniversary of confederation, Nuit Blanche Toronto has created an overarching theme for the entire 2017 event focusing on this major milestone in Canada's history as a nation, entitled Nuit Blanche 2017: Many Possible Futures. All participating Nuit Blanche Toronto 2017 curators have been encouraged to look forward to the many possible futures of Canada in their curatorial visions, working with artists to address notions of Identity and Nationhood. Possible perspectives include Migration, Displacement, Colonialism, Power and Privilege, Settlement, the Natural Landscape, Distance, Exploration, Adaptation, and Reconciliation.
This year the Open Call Projects will give up to four artists the opportunity to be part of two City-produced exhibitions.
The two exhibitions accepting Open Call submissions for 2017 are: Taking to the Streets – For a Possible Future Curator: Barbara Fischer Streets are complex sites where pedestrian life meets car culture, where public and private intermingle, and where commerce and consumption, ostentation and privation are in daily exchange, if not confrontation. Taking to the Streets – For a Possible Future looks at the ways in which the 'street' as a medium has served the manifestation of social action and interrogation by artists, from graffiti to protest, conceptual interventions to public disruptions.
Barbara Fischer is the executive director/chief curator of the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery at Hart House and interim director of the University of Toronto Art Centre. She is also senior lecturer of Curatorial Studies in the Department of Art at the University of Toronto. She has curated numerous major exhibitions of contemporary art and its histories in galleries and museums across Canada and internationally. She was awarded the 2008 Hnatyshyn Award for Curatorial Excellence and was the commissioner of the Canadian Pavilion for the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009.
Dream Time: We All Have Stories Curator: Karen Alexander Dream Time: We All Have Stories focuses on the challenges and consequences of individuals and communities sharing urban spaces and places, together. Exploring themes of migration, memory, hybridity and transformation, the exhibition looks forward not toward a future which throws everything together into a magical multicultural melting pot, but rather one that sharply focuses on progressive ideas of nationality and inclusion through a series of interventions, investigations and explorations.
Karen Alexander is an independent film and moving image curator, advisor and researcher and has worked with and for the Royal College of Art, and the British Film Institute. She has acted as a consultant and programmer for a wide range of festivals institutions and galleries, including Film London, the Watershed Bristol, Tate, Birkbeck, Iniva, the Serpentine Gallery, The British Library and the ICA London. Her areas of expertise are UK artists’ film and video, feminist and post-colonial politics of representation, gender and sexuality. Karen was appointed Associate Fellow at Warwick University in the Film and Television Studies department in 2015 and has been a trustee of the London-based arts commissioning body Artangel since 2004.
Each curator will select one or two Open Call Projects for their exhibition in consultation with the City of Toronto. Funding and production support is provided by the City of Toronto. Applications are now being accepted. Further details, guidelines and the Open Call application form can be found at http://www.toronto.ca/nuitblanche.

58 EXHIBITION: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: 31ST ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION & BIG ART BOOK 2017 Theme: Spectacular Celebrations Application Deadline: Monday, December 5, 2016 at 5 PM
For its 31st Annual Juried Exhibition and BIG ART BOOK, Scarborough Arts invites visual and literary artists across Canada to submit work that questions, reflects, or engages critically with the spectacle of celebration. The 31st Annual Juried Exhibition and BIG ART BOOK highlight an array of visual and literary arts contributions that reflect on the theme of Spectacular Celebrations. This exhibit and publication launches in January 2017—a new year which also marks the start of Canada’s 150-year anniversary celebrations. The year of the sesquicentennial will prompt a series of nationwide celebrations intended to highlight the past achievements, victories, and histories of this country. It’s a really big birthday party, with a whole lot of spectacle. This context frames our interest in an exhibit that probes the mechanisms and experiences of personal and political celebration. The committee is specifically interested in submissions that: • Highlight moments of personal celebration or local community commemoration • Envision the familial experience of birthdays or parties that mark the passage of time • Picture or reflect on a national celebration related to their own country of origin outside of Canada • Engage with the diverse range and forms of expressions elicited by the theatricality of spectacle and celebration Be creative. Ultimately, we envision an exhibit that will both announce and renounce the spectacle of celebration. Two separate juries (one for visual arts submissions, another for literary submissions), both composed of industry and community arts professionals, will select pieces for the Annual Juried Exhibition, the BIG ART BOOK, and the "Juror's Choice" based upon a combination of artistic quality, technical execution and/or conceptual strength, originality, and impact. Artists whose pieces are selected for the Juror's Choice award will receive cash prizes of up to $2,000. The opening reception and publication launch of Spectacular Celebrations: Annual Juried Exhibition and BIG ART BOOK is on Thursday, January 26, 2017 from 6 PM to 8 PM at the Papermill Gallery at Todmorden Mills (67 Pottery Road). The exhibition will be on view from January 26 to February 8, 2017.

59 FESTIVAL: YOUR DANCE FEST - CALL TO DANCE ARTISTS Deadline: January 1, 2017
Your Dance Fest will be taking place in Toronto, ON from August 25th-27th, 2017. We are interested in work from all performance backgrounds and dance styles, as long as movement is the primary form of expression. We are interested in works which are engaging and accessible to audiences unfamiliar with dance but also challenging and boundary pushing both physically and thematically. Chosen artists will perform twice throughout the weekend and will also be asked to attend post-show interactions with the audiences. Artists will receive an honorarium, a video of each performance, full technical staff and marketing as well as a fantastic opportunity to show your work and meet fellow artists and audiences. All applicants, whether selected or not, will receive written feedback from our non-dancer curatorial team. This opportunity is available to artists who, at minimum, have completed a professional training program or equivalent. Proposed works must be between 10 and 20 minutes in length. Excerpts will not be permitted. Artists must be fully available from August 23rd to 27th, 2017 for technical rehearsals and performances. Interested artists are asked to submit their application online by January 1st, 2017. Paper applications will not be accepted. Applications should include: *$10 application fee *Name of Choreographer or Company *Contact information *Name(s) of Performers *Bios of all involved artists (max 100 words per person) *List of props or technical requests *Description of the work (200 words max) detailing what the work is about and why you think audiences will find this work interesting *Video documentation of the work. Video must be of the completed proposed work. Rehearsal or performance footage is permitted. Please note that this footage will be the main way our non-dance jury will be accessing your work, therefore visibility and clarity are important.
Incomplete applications will not be considered. To apply, go to our website: www.yourdancefest.com For more information please contact us at: [email protected] WHAT IS YOUR DANCE FEST? Your Dance Fest is focused on bringing artists and audiences closer together through creating a family-friendly dance celebration. The festival developed because many audiences don't feel welcome at dance events. We want to change that. Your Dance Fest is centered around creating open communication between artists and their audience.
Traditionally when dance is presented it is chosen by other dancers. Instead, what we are doing at Your Dance Fest is inviting members of the community who are interesting in dance, but with little background in it, as our main curators. We have found that the most honest and genuine feedback about dance often comes from those who are not well versed in the artform. We want to promote this open dialogue and encourage people outside the industry to view and appreciate dance.Our curators are working alongside the artistic team to craft a festival which directly responds to the interests of the community.

75 RESIDENCY: CALL | NAKED STATE ART RESIDENCY Naked State art residency International Call Bare Oaks, Canada
Program Dates: July 21 - 31, 2017 Submission Deadline: February 15, 2017
Naked State is a 10-day residency to create artworks that explore the nude human body in context of nature, culture and art. For the duration of the residency, the artists and residency Facilitator live as *naturists (in the nude) within the naturist community of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park to create works that explore questions such as: What is nudity? Does stripping away clothing rid us of class, gender, and personal expression?; Do the connections between our bodies and the land change when nude? Is nudity always sexual? What is the role of the nude in historical and contemporary art?; Is an animal with fur naked? Is it possible to be civil in the nude?; Is there a natural state for human being? Residents work individually or collaboratively to create artworks that explore these questions through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, painting, performance art, dance, sound art, media art, etc. Naked State welcomes people in all walks of life into a creative journey of criticality thinking and self-discovery. People with disabilities, people of colour and diverse gender identifications are encouraged to apply. This programmed residency offers facilitation by multimedia artist Teresa Ascencao, a seminar on naturism with *Stphane Deschnes, a creative workshop, guest visits by artists and members of the Bare Oaks naturist community, and plenty of studio time. Critiques of residents' works occur on a regular basis, individually with the Facilitator and through facilitated group discussions. Artists are encouraged to socialize and integrate with the Bare Oaks community at campfires, swimming, sharing meals, and through the creation of artworks. The Bare Oaks community will be invited to the introductory resident artist talks, guest seminar with Stphane, and scheduled studio visits with artists (who wish to participate). The closing event will be open to members of Bare Oaks and the public. *Naturism is the practice of complete nudity in a social setting. Though nudity is the most obvious aspect of naturism, it is simply a tool to reach closer to a natural state. The purpose of naturism is to promote wholesomeness and stability of the human body, mind, and spirit. It also promotes wellbeing through complete contact of the body with the natural elements. For a full description of naturism, visit BareOaks.ca/index.php/en/about-naturism. Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is a year-round naturist park near Toronto in Canada, where individuals and families experience traditional naturist values in a modern setting. It is nestled among the natural wilderness of the Ontario Greenbelt and Oak Ridges Moraine. Its varied landscape includes open spaces, forests, ponds, streams and a small lake. Amenities include a store, restaurant, sun deck, TV and sports lounge, outdoor pool, whirlpool, saunas, exercise room, laundromat, and a small common kitchen with microwave and fridge.

77 RESIDENCY: MURMUR LAND STUDIOS: APPLY FOR RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITIES - PASSAGES: BEYOND FUTURING Applications are now open for the 2017 events, with a deadline of December 15.
Murmur Land Studios is an experimental school initiative offering event-based pedagogy in art, philosophy, movement, ecology and community for the post- anthropocene era. Our attempt is to curate spaces of creative inquiry which attract diverse makers, thinkers and doers together around thematic concerns relevant to the challenging times which lay before us. We are interested in exploring the varied human and more-than-human relations that weave and co-compose new possibilities for joy and survival. Our week-long residencies are held as camping-based opportunities to (mostly) gain a reprieve from the grid and reconnect with the land. This is our first ecological gesture to open up a differential space for both group investigation and self-directed inquiry. These are hybrid events, oriented around morning sessions of critical dialogue in the style of seminars or roundtable discussions, followed by open studio sessions in the afternoon for event participants to pursue individual creative projects connected to the event theme. Finally, through meals, shared space and the like, the actual living-together of the residency itself becomes a key component of how we dynamically explore the potentials of each thematic gathering.
Our inaugural programme of events, slated for 2017-18, is titled Passages: Beyond Futuring: 1. The City in Reverse: Diagramming Intelligent Systems – (July 2-8, 2017, Sherbrooke, NS; $695+HST)
What is community if not an intelligent system? Toward a geophilosophy of grounding abstraction in new topologies and tempos: What forms of offline communication and clustered modes of computation prefigure sustainability in an imagined flight from the City? What ecology of practices for generatively unmapping terrains with the human-that-is-posthuman—an ethico-aesthetic being-for-the-world rather than a being-in-the-world? 2. Wander Lines: Mythodological Escapism – (August 13-19, 2017, Saysutshun – Newcastle Island, BC; $720+HST)
What is wandering if not an imagined escape? How might we change our ways of thinking? Mythodology is a call to develop creative means of imagining new forms of thought—ones that seek to break free of old logics and scientific processes reducing life to standards and measures. As mythodologists we seek to imagine, create, desire and affect new forms of research, life and living. 3. Unruly Infolding: Reconsidering Naturecultures – (June 2018, Southern Pennsylvania; $695+HST)
What is artificiality if not an incredible authenticity? Science is the ‘symbiotic agreement’ that we cannot know until the event takes place—and even then this agreement is not contractual since it is always already in transition and transduction. From the multivariate projection points of our historical present it is now certain that the divisions of artifice were always porous, transitional, interrelated and bleeding. 4. Reanimation and Unsettling: Politics of Exhaustion – (August 2018, ‘Uranium City, SK; $695+HST)
What is history if not an unbearable half-life? Pulling futures forward, we dwell in the energetics of the half: half-way, half-thought, or the half-life of political disaster. Radiating futures means entering the half-life of our collective history. This might be exhaustion. Exhaustion is what the land speaks, if only one would listen openly. What are the coordinates of care for the coming planetary burnout and post- anthropocene landscape?
Please see the Apply page for further information on submitting an application, or the FAQ to learn more about any specific questions you may have. Our events are open to participants from all educational backgrounds. We look forward to you joining us!
Thank you and warmest wishes, the MLS Curatorial Collective

The MLS Curatorial Collective and the origins of Murmur Land Studios emerge primarily from a durational project in June 2015 curated by the Department of Biological Flow research-creation collective. Channel Surf was an open platform for arts-based research and alternative pedagogical expression that unfolded during a 200km journey paddling from Kingston to Ottawa along Canada’s Rideau Canal. For the participants of this ambulant atelier, the canal of Channel Surf metaphorically assumed the role of digital information channel, and the paddlers that of data packets invested with inventive agency in a durational co-compositional transit. The event concluded with a performative exhibition of works at Gallery 101 in Ottawa.
Channel Surf was one of 5 projects worldwide accepted for the 2014-15 cohort of Project Anywhere, a peer-review system for arts-based research-creation inquiry.

Luminous Bodies is a two-week residency to create artworks that shed new light on the human body. Its objective is to challenge "normativity" and Otherness. Its goal is to reinvent and re-present the body in most inclusive and diverse ways. Resident artist talks, gallery tours, visual and textual references, guest artist talks, and regular critiques (individual with Facilitator and group critiques) help uncover how our bodies are culturally and aesthetically constructed, displayed and controlled. Residents work individually or collaboratively to create artworks that reinvent the body through media of their choice, such as photography, video, installation, drawing, painting, performance, installation, sound art, media art, etc. There will be a closing exhibition of artworks created during the residency (if preferred, artists may show in open studio fashion). The essence of Luminous Bodies is about bringing to light heterogeneous bodies. It welcomes people in all walks of life into a creative journey of critical innovation and self-discovery. People with disabilities, people of colour and diverse gender identifications are encouraged to apply. AGP (Artscape Gibraltar Point) is an artist retreat nestled against the magnificent natural backdrop of Toronto Island. It offers a distraction-free environment to focus on art creation, and a rich potential for the creation of corporeal artworks amongst its blue-flag beaches (one of them being clothing optional) and natural surroundings of Lake Ontario, forests and gardens filled with flowers, fruit and vegetables. On the island, there are tiny quaint homes, a historic lighthouse, a hobby farm and antique carnival grounds. Cozy up in a furnished studio and bedroom, and enjoy amenities such as a fully equipped common kitchen, shared bathrooms, laundry facilities and wireless Internet. AGP is a barrier free and inclusive environment. The Toronto city core is just a 15-minute ferry ride away.

MEXICO: 89 RESIDENCY: ARQUETOPIA 3 RESIDENCY OPPORTUNITIES
OUR ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAMS Our Artist-in-Residence Programs offer competitive professional opportunities for emerging and mid-career, national and international artists, designers, curators, art historians, art educators, journalists, writers, and cultural researchers age 25 and over. Our programs are based on a non-exploitative model promoting social consciousness. Residents are strongly encouraged to explore various ways of cultural exchange as part of their artistic and/or research goals and to actively engage in critical discussions as part of their residency experience. Understanding Mexico’s context, and specifically Puebla and Oaxaca’s cultural complexity, is key for a successful cultural exchange. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and disciplines who are interested in creating work or inspired by art, elements, techniques or processes specific to Mexico and/or unique to Puebla or Oaxaca. Arquetopia is distinguished worldwide for its array of unique residency programs with substantial content. In contrast to various property rental schemes, tourist resorts, B&B’s, and sublets elsewhere, our residency spaces function exclusively for productive art professionals, writers, and researchers and include structured, informative programs; a network of collaborative workspaces, institutions, and studios; and individualized project support. RESIDENCY GUIDELINES • Selection decisions are based on artistic work and proposed project. Candidates at all stages of their careers (emerging and established) must demonstrate a clear sense of potential. • Our pool of applicants and residents is diverse in all aspects. • Our residency programs are competitive opportunities for artists and researchers to pursue their own work, free of pressure (especially work that in their particular circumstances would normally be difficult to produce). • Selection priority is given to projects that explore a responsible connection between the applicant’s artistic practice and the cultural context of Mexico, of Puebla, or of Oaxaca. The connection can be as broad as an artistic technique or as specific as a local theme. • The creation of community with fellow residents and staff during the residency period is important. ARQUETOPIA Founded in 2009, Arquetopia is an international award-winning, Mexican official nonprofit foundation for visual arts, music, literature, and research. Run entirely by artists, Arquetopia’s programs promote development and social transformation through contemporary art with a nontraditional, culturally diverse and multidisciplinary approach. Arquetopia’s resident artist and staff backgrounds are diverse in all aspects. ARQUETOPIA OAXACA In contributing to more focused environmental consciousness and renewing our commitment to sustainability and nature, we honor Oaxaca’s traditions by incorporating into our residency a deeper comprehension of how art and the surrounding ecosystem coexist harmonically. Arquetopia’s residency spaces continue to be open for dialogue, exchanges, and encounters while emphasizing our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint, reusing materials, and recycling waste. Our alpine-style villa hosts up to four artists at a time, with sweeping mountain and city views from the artist rooms. In this countryside space, the intersection of art and nature set the tone for reflection, research and production. We welcome writers who are interested in seeking a deeper connection with the community, nature, and the environment. Artists are also encouraged to participate in diverse activities such as field trips, cycling, and hiking. Our residents enjoy a safe and peaceful environment surrounded by the mountains of San Pablo, a nature reserve of 7,500 acres with rich biodiversity. The residency center is located in the countryside village of San Pablo Etla, only 20 minutes away from the center of the city of Oaxaca on the south side; and to the north, it is only 20 minutes away from the Centro de las Artes San Agustín, an early 20th-century textile mill transformed into a spectacular arts center. Though cheap, everyday public transportation is also available from the residency vicinity into the city, Arquetopia provides scheduled transportation into downtown Oaxaca twice per week by van. OAXACA, SOUTHERN MEXICO The colonial city of Oaxaca is nestled in a valley in the Sierra Madre mountain range of southern Mexico. Oaxaca is located 450 km (280 mi) southeast of Mexico City and is reachable via three international airports: Oaxaca (OAX), Puebla (PBC), and Mexico City (MEX). With a population of 265,000, Oaxaca boasts magnificent colonial architecture, the most outstanding example being Santo Domingo church and its former convent, now home to an impressive anthropology museum. The city and its surrounding areas also feature a high concentration of native Zapotec and Mixtec cultures and archaeological sites. Oaxaca was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 for its central historic district and the archaeological site of Monte Alban. Getting around Oaxaca is easy and enjoyable; museums, studios, libraries and landmarks are all in walking distance. At an elevation of 1,555 m (5,100 ft), Oaxaca features a subtropical climate, resulting in mild-to-warm temperatures year-round. Rich in history and culture, Oaxaca is a fascinating destination where you can appreciate ancient civilizations, colonial art and architecture, and vibrant cultural traditions. Oaxaca is one of the safest Mexican tourist destinations you could choose.

MEXICAN TEXTILES INSTRUCTIONAL RESIDENCY: WEAVING, EMBROIDERY, OR TAPESTRY - WINTER/SPRING SESSIONS 2017 - Oaxaca, Mexico With master instruction, learn to create traditional Mexican Textiles in Oaxaca, Mexico.
For a limited time, we are now welcoming applications for Winter/Spring (January through April) 2017. With master instruction, learn to create traditional Mexican Textiles (back-strap weaving, embroidery, or tapestry) in the countryside of Oaxaca, southern Mexico. Extendable 3-week sessions. Apply Now through Wednesday, November 30, 2016. Spaces are limited. Our committee processes all residency applications when they are received vs. after the deadline has passed. http://www.arquetopia.org/our-artist-residencies/2014-10-12-17-29-20/mexican- textiles-residency
MEXICAN TEXTILES INSTRUCTIONAL ARTIST RESIDENCY: WEAVING, EMBROIDERY, OR TAPESTRY Mexican textiles are the expression of Mexico’s diversity and complex sociocultural systems; through their narratives, iconographies, and techniques, they reflect a multiplicity of artistic traditions and identities. Clothing in Mexico signals wealth and power, they incorporate elements of class and gender differentiation in the process of performing and negotiating identities. Therefore the intricate language of textiles reflects a history of contention and resistance as a result of the amalgamation and negotiation of Mesoamerican and European civilizations. Textiles are also sources of information for the cultural patrimony of each community. Both weaving and embroidery are techniques used to develop complex narratives, and are important ideologically in structuring roles and identity patterns. In Oaxaca, the diversity of textiles is as rich as the natural environment. Each weave and embroidery has had a destiny, and with the complex process of assimilation and negotiation, some have disappeared or have suffered gradual or radical transformation; other have become more sophisticated in their narratives, techniques and/or coloring. This a production residency that includes master instruction (Weaving or Emboroidery: 27 hours total, 9 hours per week; Tapestry: 36 hours total, 9 hours per week) in Mexican textiles techniques. Residents learn how to use the traditional back-strap loom, including how to assemble it, and basic weaving techniques; or they learn Mexican embroidery techniques for which we offer instruction in the following: cross-stitching, chain-stitching, shading, and pepenado hilván; or they learn tapestry techniques, using the large floor loom. Each technique is offered separately. Residents wishing to do multiple techniques may apply for consecutive residencies. With three separate programs to choose from, Mexican Traditional Weaving, Oaxacan Embroidery, or Tapestry, artists join an integral program in which they learn the technique, approach iconography and traditional textile production systems with more resources, and get a better understanding of Mexican culture.

SWEDEN: 90 RESIDENCY: CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: BRUCEBO FINE ART SUMMER RESIDENCY SCHOLARSHIP (GOTLAND, SWEDEN) AND THE WILLIAM BLAIR BRUCE EUROPEAN FINE ART TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP
Submission deadline: January 31st, 2017
Eligibility: The Brucebo foundation supports emerging and early-mid career artists. Eligible applicants must be Canadian Citizens who have studied fine arts within the last ten years. Self-taught artists with less than ten years of exhibition experience may also apply.
Since 1972, the Brucebo Fine Art Scholarship Foundation of Gotland, Sweden has offered a fine art residency/scholarship to a talented emerging professional Canadian artist providing an inspiring study/work stay in northern Europe on the island of Gotland, located in the Baltic Sea. The Brucebo fine art scholarships date back to the post-impressionist era in Europe, where two young artists, Caroline Benedicks of Sweden and William Blair Bruce of Hamilton, Canada, met in Paris, married and after many years on the European continent, settled on Gotland Island. With the untimely death of William in 1906 and that of Caroline in 1935, the estate, in the early 70’s, created the Brucebo Fine Art (Scholarship) Foundation, an organization promoting island-based cultural history and fine art. To commemorate the unique Swedish-Canadian link of Caroline’s and William’s marriage and impressive artistry, two annual fine art scholarships for younger, professional Canadian artists were established: The Brucebo Fine Art Summer Residency Scholarship and The William Blair Bruce European Fine Art Travel Scholarship.
The Brucebo Fine Art Summer Residency Scholarship funds a three-month working residency – starting June 1 – at the Brucebo studio cottage in the Själsö fishing village, 7 km north of of Visby in Gotland, Sweden. The scholarship includes the use of the studio cottage, and a stipend of 50 000 SEK (approx. $7,500 CAD), which covers travel expenses from Canada - Gotland (return). The scholar also has the opportunity to extend their stay until October 1. Upon leaving the island, the artist is requested to donate an artwork made during their summer residency with the Canadian Collection at the Brucebo museum. The William Blair Bruce Travel Scholarship provides 30.000 SEK (approx. $4,500 CAD) for a European research sejourn, to be undertaken within the next year. The tour is based on an approved Fine Art-related investigative project. As a final part of the ‘travel scholarship’ the recipient must visit Visby via Stockholm. While in Visby, she/he will give a public lecture sponsored by the Foundation on the investigative theme pursued during her/his recent European travel. Deadline for applications: January 31, 2017. See the application guidelines and download the application form at http://www.bruceboscholarships.ca/apply/ For more information on the Scholarships, the studio cottage, previous scholarship recipients and the Caroline Benedicks - William Blair Bruce story, visit the Brucebo Scholarships website at: www.bruceboscholarships.ca
The scholarships are administered by Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, Associate Dean’s Office in Montreal and the Chair of the Brucebo Fine Art Evaluation Committee: Jessica Auer.

95 PUBLICATION: MANIFEST: INDA 12 – A CALL FOR DRAWING Entry Deadline: December 31, 2016 $2000 in Cash Awards — $1200 First Place
NOTE: As this is a BOOK project, works that are not otherwise available (i.e. physically) may still be submitted for consideration. All that is required of accepted artists is a print-quality hi-res digital image of accepted works. All included artists receive a complimentary copy of the finished book. ALSO NOTE: One can view the Online Resources for the past INDA projects and get an overview of the works included previously. But one should not assume these represent a goal or ideal for the type or style of work this project will accept. Manifest is very eager to see diverse submissions come in and even challenge any perceived patterns represented by previous volumes. The INDA is intended to be a living sampling of excellent drawing being made today.
This project is paralleled by a separate new annual gallery exhibit at Manifest entitled DRAWN. Info for this will be posted here when available.
The award-winning International Drawing Annual is an extension and merging of Manifest's Drawing Center, Press, and Gallery programs. Its goal is to support the recognition, documentation, and publication of excellent, current, and relevant works of drawing of all kinds from around the world.
A natural question will be "what is drawing?" and that is exactly one question the Annual is meant to investigate from year to year. Furthermore the goal is to ask "what is exceptional drawing?" Therefore submissions are expected to vary, including a range of drawing types, from the most academic to the most experimental, but all with some relevance to the artists' honest understanding of the practice of "drawing."
After reviewing the full prospectus below, find the required entry form here: http://www.manifestgallery.org/inda12/entry.html
Eligibility The International Drawing Annual is open to any artist submitting original works of art or design created within the past three years (2014 - 2016). Artists, designers, illustrators, professionals, and students in ALL disciplines are encouraged to submit. Manifest is eager to receive works of drawing in a wide range of applications (technical, graphic, fine art, design, architectural, digital, illustration, etc.) with the qualification being that artwork submitted is representative of high quality "drawing."
Note that artists who previously exhibited at Manifest or had work included in our publication projects ARE eligible to submit. Our juries are always conducted 'blind', and we do not disqualify people who have success in past juries. However there is no advantage here either because our jury members are changed from project to project. Media (artwork) Open to any media applicable to the practice of drawing including but by no means limited to traditional drawing media. Printmaking, digital/new media, photography, sculpture, painting, installation, etc., are all possibly valid.
Essays and other drawing-related writings (OPTIONAL SEPARATE CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS) Manifest calls for scholarly, critical, and creative writing for publishing it each of its three publication projects. Information about this, and a separate entry process, can be found here.
Jury and CuratorManifest's selection process involves a complex two-part system. This project will be juried by a 9-12 member panel of professional and academic volunteer advisors with a broad range of expertise. The jury will then pass along their scores to the project curator/editor who will assemble the final selections from the jury-approved pool.
Publication Each artist/author selected for inclusion in the INDA will receive one complimentary copy of the publication. The books produced for this ongoing project have increased in page count and print quality each year, with the largest publication reaching 200 pages in length. In 2011, the INDA 5 was awarded a national silver medal award from the Independent Publishers Association in their New York City ceremony, in which other major arts institutions such as the Whitney Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art have competed. In 2015 the INDA 8 was awarded a bronze medal award in the same competition. Manifest's books are distributed to bookstores across the country, including museum bookstores, and are available through Amazon.com as well as at Manifest Gallery and on the Manifest website. Arts patrons, artists, professors, and art students around the world collect our publications. The books are offered at an academic discount to professors, students, and institutions of learning around the world. Special bundles of the books are also provided as course supplements for advanced drawing (as well as advanced painting and photography) courses at course-book discount rates.
Online INDA Resource An Internet-based online International Drawing Annual Resource will be published to accompany the printed Annual. This will feature statements, bios, contact info., and professional information for each person included. (www.manifestgallery.org/inda)
Entry Fee$36 for up to three entries submitted. $10 per each additional entry. Fees are non-refundable. Number of entries is unlimited. Entry fee must be paid by U.S. check or money order made payable to MANIFEST, or by credit card via PayPal. Detail images may be included at no additional cost but should only be provided when absolutely necessary to reveal accurate understanding of the artwork. Beyond this nominal fee, the requirements spelled out here, and providing print- quality digital images of selected works, there are NO hidden costs or obligations associated with participation, and NO obligation to purchase copies of the printed publication.
What is my fee used for? Manifest is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization operating by artists, for artists, with no reserve or endowment. All proceeds from entry fees fund project-related expenses, including design and printing of the publication.
How many works can or should I submit? The average number of works submitted to typical Manifest calls is 3. Often artists will submit several more, especially if they have different bodies of work which they'd like our jury to consider, or if they have a series of works that are interrelated. While we have absolutely no minimum number required (other than one), nor do we give an advantage to those who submit more, it is helpful to have a number of options to select from. Our jury often gains insight into one work by seeing it in context with others by the same artist. And we do routinely accept pairs or sets of work by artists once they are determined to be a finalist. It is also worth noting that our book projects like the INDA, INPHA, and INPA are not limited by size of work nor physical gallery space, so we are able to more easily include, on average, more works per artist if justified by our jury scores. Awards and Cash PrizesFirst, Second, and Third Place awards for works of drawing will be decided by the jury committee. Each award winner will have a brief artist's statement included in the publication. There will be three cash prizes of $1200, $500, and $300 for first, second, and third place winners.
IMPORTANT! Non-U.S. citizens selected for a prize will be vetted through the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control Sanctions List. Prize award amounts for non-U.S. citizens not restricted by sanctions will have the United States government's required 30% income tax withheld before payment (https://www.irs.gov/businesses/u-s-tax- withholding-on-payments-to-foreign-persons) unless an applicable tax treaty determines otherwise. Non-U.S. citizens restricted by sanctions will be recognized as a prizewinner in name only, if permitted by U.S. law, but will receive no monetary award. U.S. citizen prize recipients will be issued a 1099 form for income tax reporting purposes as required by U.S. law.
Text Entries (OPTIONAL SEPARATE CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS) Find guidelines and a separate entry process for written submissions here.
Images In an effort to conserve resources Manifest accepts only digital images and entry forms for consideration. (see details below). The Gallery will retain the submitted images of accepted artwork and reserves the right to use the images in publications and gallery publicity. CD's of works not selected will only be returned if accompanied by a SASE. (online entry form required and emailed images preferred over mailed CD) Digital Format: Digital images can be submitted on CD or by e-mail (send to: [email protected]). The email and online submission process is HIGHLY PREFERRED because it makes our process more efficient and saves postage and materials for the artists. Hi-Res, professional-quality images will be requested for accepted works upon conclusion of the jury process. If suitable images are not provided, the work will not be included in the publication. To send via email: (send to: [email protected]). The email should include the artist's full name as subject along with 'INTERNATIONAL DRAWING ANNUAL 12 submission' or 'INDA 12 submission'. The images must meet the following specifications: FILE NAMING: All entry files (regardless of type or media) must be named with artist's last name (underscore) first name, followed by the entry number as noted on the entry form (i.e. Jones_Mike_1.jpg). Please DO NOT include any other information in the file name, such as title of work, etc. Detail, installation, or alternate view images must include the word 'detail' in the filename (i.e. Jones_Mike_1detail1.jpg). If you do NOT include the term DETAIL as part of the filename for any additional, extra, installation, or closeup images supporting your entry these will be counted as additional separate entries and our system will expect a corresponding fee for them.
Info for detail images should NOT be included on the entry form. The image files should be in HIGH QUALITY JPEG format, images should be no smaller than 1000 pixels in any direction (about 13”) and be exactly 72dpi. This should result in most image files ranging from 700kb to 2mb in file size (this is approximate). Files should be in JPEG format, not TIFF, PDF, RAW, etc., and should be in full color (not grayscale).
Be ABSOLUTELY sure you are sending files at the correct size AND that your email app. does not automatically downsize the attached images when sending. Apple Mail, for example, provides a setting for resizing attachments in the new message composition window (often in lower or upper right corner of message window). Images must be oriented properly (i.e. top of image is top of artwork) and should not include text info or borders that are not part of the actual work. Please do NOT submit resume, c.v., bio, or other text info. Please do NOT submit links to jpeg files (Google Docs or otherwise). Please attach images directly to one or more emails. If for any reason you submit your entry form more than once, only the most recent form will be retained in our system. All previous forms will be deleted. If you decide to submit additional work later, or need to correct information on your form, you’ll need to submit a new form containing ALL the works for the exhibit.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING VIDEO-BASED SUPPORT MATERIAL Manifest requests that all video or interactive submissions, or details illustrating an entry, be in the form of a link to a viewable online copy of each work. The sample should be shown online in its full length. It is understood that online versions of video files may be lower quality due to compression and Internet formatting. Note that a jpeg still image should still be submitted to represent a purely video-based entry in addition to the video material, since as a book project the INDA will represent video works via still images. Please email us if you have any uncertainty about this ([email protected])
Links to video support materials should be provided on the entry form for each entry in the 'notes' or other relevant section on the form, and should link directly to online streaming content that does NOT require a login, password or membership to view. These may be in the form of Youtube, Vimeo, Dropbox, or other similar links. Effort should be made to eliminate confusion or extraneous information that may interfere with the jury's viewing of the work. Any extraneous information, or material not considered to be 'the work' will inevitably detract from the jury score for that work. Links to video material must remain valid and active through the notification of jury results. December 31 Deadline for entry February 29 Notifications sent by e-mail sometime this week** Early 2017 Publication available and awards announced ** note that our notification emails are sometimes not received due to aggressive filtering by email servers on the recipient side. For this reason we also post the results of the jury on the project page of the website soon after sending the notifications (usually within a week or two). We encourage all entrants to white list (allow) email from the manifestgallery.org domain to help ensure our communications arrive.
