Call for Submissions - 2012-13 Season of The Alberta Society of Artists Gallery at Walterdale, Edmonton

The ASA is accepting submissions for the 2012-2013 theatre Season. Exhibitions are open to the public during performances over the eleven day run of each show (with the exception of the one-act show which runs for one week).  We also open the exhibition space on the two Saturdays of the show while the next door Strathcona Farmers Market is open.  An artist preview of the show is offered as part of the opening of each exhibition.  Artists exhibiting are encouraged to fill the theatre for the opening evening and to take part on Saturdays whenever possible.  There are four exhibition spots available for the coming season running from April to September 2013.

Proposals can be on any subject and in any media.  In order to allow as many artists to participate in the program as possible, the selection committee may offer individual artists working in similar themes the opportunity to participate in small group shows.  The committee will also consider matching artists up with appropriate theatre pieces scheduled through the year.

Your submissions should include a written proposal, a current artistic resume and up to 10 digital images in 72 DPI Jpeg format compatible with a PC environment.  Submissions can be submitted either by e-mail to  marj@artists-society.ab.ca or on CD and send to Marjorie Thomson at the North ASA Office, Box 11334, Main Post Office NW, Edmonton AB  T5J 3K6. 

The deadline is June 30, 2012
