Opportunities for Arts Practitioners

Intermedia Gallery call for submissions

Intermedia is an independent gallery space funded by Glasgow City Council and managed by CCA in partnership with Glasgow Life.

The gallery is located within CCA but operates independently of CCA’s curated exhibition programme. Exhibitions are selected by a panel that includes representatives of both CCA, Glasgow Life and the city’s independent visual arts sector. Funding is awarded to exhibiting artists towards exhibition costs. In return, artists take full responsibility for organising, curating, installing, publicising, invigilating and de-installing their exhibition.

The next deadline for applications to exhibit at Intermedia is Friday 30 March 2012. For more details of how to apply contact gen@cca-glasgow.com or see below.

Applications are received from a wide variety of individuals and groups, from which a programme of exhibitions is selected by a panel of artists/ arts professionals based on criteria of quality of work and creative development. The cost of the gallery’s overheads are covered and a small subsidy is provided towards exhibitors’ costs (£600). In return, artists take full responsibility for organising, curating, installing, publicising, invigilating, and de-installing their exhibition, all in line with CCA’s own health and safety guidelines. CCA will provide additional marketing and admin support.

Proposals for exhibitions at Intermedia for the period June 2012 – April 2013 are now being sought. If you are interested in exhibiting, please complete the application form and return it with your exhibition proposal, which should include:

• A description of the work that will be exhibited.
• A c.v. for each artist involved in the exhibition.
• Six images on disk or links to photographs of each artist’s work. Artists working in time based media may submit a DVD which should last, in total, no more than 7 – 10 minutes but which may include edited pieces from a number of works. The DVD should be clearly labelled detailing the work it contains and the full duration of the pieces. (Please specify whether the images are of work you intend to exhibit.)

POINTS TO NOTE
Your application must arrive no later than 5pm on Friday 30 March 2012.

We regret we are unable to accept late applications.
