DEADLINES : MARCH 15 & OCTOBER 15 of every year Growing out of the feminist art movement and founded in 1973, La Centrale galerie Powerhouse is one of the oldest artist-run centers in Quebec. The center’s mandate expands on a history of feminist art practices and engages a broader spectrum of underrepresented artists and their initiatives within established art institutions. The gallery aims to provide a platform for contemporary art informed by feminist and gender theory, as well as intercultural and transdisciplinary practices. This involves networking and developing professional exchanges at the local, national and international levels. We promote the work of artists at all stages of their careers to allow for intergenerational dialogue. The programming and events at the gallery are a reflection of our members and their interests and involvements. Please include the following with your application :

Almost supper time and I’m feeling a bit behind. Today was not terribly productive in terms of physical work that I wanted to get accomplished, but it has been an incredibly thought provoking day with many chats around the studio which are making my brain buzz. Dialogues on functionality, grad school, audience, expectations, reasoning and justification for making art. Far too complex to summarize in any cohesive manner, I guess you just had to be here…
Here’s hoping this evening is a bit more hands on productive for me. Another late night I guess (not that I’m complaining – it’s been glorious to work 14 hour days!) In the meantime here’s some pics of Robin and Paul working away.
