call for submissions

To Whom it May Concern:

XPACE Cultural Centre and the Images Festival are co-presenting a new media student group exhibition for the upcoming Images Festival (April 1 – 10, 2009) and we are seeking proposals from local undergraduate new media students.

Now in its second year, this collaboration is hoping to expand on the success of last years Inner and Outer Spaces. This energetic exhibition featured work from students at York University, the Ontario College of Art and Design, and the University of Toronto.

XPACE and Images are seeking challenging and refreshing new media installations. Our goal is to combine work from OCAD, the U of T campuses, Ryerson and York for an exciting counterpart to the annual S is for Student screening, one of the Images Festival favourites. This is an excellent opportunity for students to exhibit their work at a supportive, professional space with internationally renowned festival exposure.

On behalf of XPACE, I would be delighted to answer any questions about this project and encourage you to contact me. Please feel free to forward this call for proposals to interested parties – attached is the application form. All proposals must be received by November 13^th, 2009; note that only hardcopy proposals will be considered. Class talks regarding this project and about XPACE Cultural Centre can also be arranged.

Thank you and warmest regards,
