The Call for Submissions for the 20th Anniversary Being Scene Exhibition  is now open!

Last year, Being Scene exhibited over 100 artworks by 60+ artists. The exhibition covered a wide range of conceptual and material approaches, giving voice to diverse life experiences. We invite you to submit completed artwork for the opportunity to exhibit virtually in a group show for the month of March 2021. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the exhibition will be presented online.

We invite artists to submit up to 2 works digitally to be considered for the exhibition. To submit, please fill out the online form by following the “SUBMIT” button.

Eligibility open to Workman Arts members and/or artists who have accessed CAMH services only.

Artists will be notified mid-January 2021.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Workman Arts would like to acknowledge the Indigenous land on which we are presently located; Toronto comes from the Kanien’kéha word Tkaronto, which can be translated as “where the trees meet the water.” It is part of traditional territories of many nations: the Huron Wendat, the Haudenosaunee, and the Anishinaabe and the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Workman Arts recognizes this is an ongoing dialogue; we are grateful to live and work on this land with all people—those Indigenous to Turtle Island and those from all over the world.

ANTI-OPPRESSION STATEMENT

Workman Arts values inclusivity, anti-oppression and safety at all levels. Everyone has a role to play in maintaining that spirit. Please see our full statement and code of conduct here.
