Art by Nicole Beno at Gladstone House, DesignTO 2024.

Call for Submissions: DesignTO Art Projects
Gladstone House

Submission Deadline: September 29, 2024
Exhibition Dates: January 15 – April 29, 2025

Gladstone House seeks artwork for exhibitions for the 2025 DesignTO Festival. Gladstone House’s 2025 exhibitions will be built around pattern. Pattern is everywhere: it can be created by hand or digitally, it can occur in nature at large and micro scales. In art and design, it can be a motif, a way to organize, a compositional device.

We’re looking for work that includes or is informed by pattern. The work may be pattern-based, or include a depiction of patterned textiles or architectural forms, or have any other connection to pattern.

Exhibition Spaces:
Multiple spaces around the hotel, including for 1 person and 2-person installations of 1-7 works per person. Artist fees paid.

Media:
Accepted media include drawing, printmaking, collage, painting, photography, textiles framed under glass/plexi, images printed/mounted on dibond or other rigid substrate, works on canvas or panel. Sculpture, time-based work and work requiring power cannot be accommodated.

Size:
Maximum width 60 inches, maximum height 60 inches. These spaces are better suited to medium to large work – works under 24 inches wide are not suitable.

How to Apply:
To apply, please read the call details. Application materials include a bio, statement, list of works and up to 5 images, submitted in a PDF. If you need an alternative method of applying, please email Lee to discuss options.
