2024 Call for Entry
LANDSCAPES

Online slideshow with a playlist and a downloadable publication

Jurors: Clint Griffin & Krista Young
Deadline: Sunday, September 8, 2024, Midnight

About the Call:

LANDSCAPES 2024 invites entries from contemporary artists from anywhere in the world to submit artwork that happens upon our moment using historic or contemporary technologies.

For this call, we loosely define a Landscape practice as an artist’s creativity within fluid fields (representational or non-representational two or three-dimensional) that envision terra firma.

Submissions may include media/techniques as wide-ranging as drawing, painting, sculpture, assemblage, collage, or text. Photo/digital documentation of Land Art seen directly out cars, trains, or airplanes, or works made directly in the landscape, sculpting it into earthworks or making structures using natural materials are welcome too.

The online exhibition will act as showcase for contemporary landscape artists.

About the Gallery

The John B. Aird Gallery, established in 1985, is a self-funded, non-profit public art gallery. The Gallery features up to nine exhibits annually, with many accompanied by online publications. These exhibits offer opportunities for up to four hundred artists each year to participate.

The Gallery’s mission is to provide a generous, safe contemporary art exhibition space where visual culture can be shared and explored by an audience as diverse as its makers. We believe visual culture inspires, engages, and amplifies Toronto’s communities.

In September 2019, the Aird Gallery moved from the provincial government buildings at Bay and Wellesley to its current temporary location in the City’s oldest ARTSCAPE building on West-Queen-West. We foresee returning to our new 3,500-square-foot space on the second floor in the Macdonald Block sometime mid-decade.
