Ontario, Canada
Deadline for Submissions: 11:59PM ET on September 30, 2011
Toronto-based Public Art Management provides curatorial, planning and public art project management services to private companies and public agencies in North America. This Call for Submissions is intended to launch an investigation into programming content for a proposed large-scale video screen to be constructed as part of a major Ontario development project.
The video screen will combine a variety of programming types, such as commercial advertising, sponsorships, content concerning regional and municipal cultural affairs, and a fine arts element. The purpose of this Call for Submissions is to investigate the arts programming that is available, such as but not limited to art films, video art, computer-generated and animated art, or other forms of new media. Please note that we are not looking for images of art to be shown in a slideshow. Also, the video screen will have no audio capabilities.
