Annual Call For Submissions: Deadline September 15
PAVED Arts is a dynamic media production and presentation centre that supports experimental work in Photography, Audio, Video, Electronic and Digital Arts.
We welcome proposals by contemporary artists, collectives, and curators for the following:
• Exhibitions
• Screenings
• Media/new media performances
• Billboard presentations
• Off-site projects
• Online projects
Our presentation facilities include a 1200 square foot main gallery space, an adjacent, acoustically-separated media gallery, and a programmable (50′ wide x 14.75′ high) billboard space mounted onto the front facade of our building. We share the billboard space with AKA Artist-Run, and as such, programming times are negotiated between our respective schedules.
In the tradition of artist-run culture, PAVED Arts promotes the idea of the gallery space as a site for experimentation and risk-taking. Artists who engage our centre have benefited from the pliability of our resources as well as the critical dialogue that is encouraged. PAVED Arts is prominently located in the Riversdale district of Saskatoon and draws from the strength and skills of a talented team of cultural workers.
