Call for Submissions: ArchDaily’s 2021 New Practices

From social, racial, economical inequity to virtual, immersive environments, the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping trends and pushing societies to discuss how we will live together in the future. 

In this context, architecture has been navigating through sequential changes over the last decades with the rise and latter consolidation of new technologies, tools, formats, topics, scales, and interdisciplinary approaches, along with the emergence of the Internet that led towards a disruptive decentralization of the architecture production and discussion. Architects and designers from all over the world are embracing these challenges by pondering their roles and exploring their own practical approaches.

For the second consecutive year, ArchDaily wants to highlight emerging, new practices, offices, collectives, practitioners, professionals, and startups that are providing innovative approaches, proposals, startup ideas, and solutions to these discussions. Tell us how your practice approaches the challenges we’re facing, share your portfolio with us, and describe your contribution to the future of architecture and cities.

apexart.org

apexart is accepting exhibition proposals for its NYC Open Call from October 1–31, 2021. Five winning proposals will become apexart exhibitions presented at apexart’s NYC space as part of its 2020-21 exhibition season. Curators, artists, writers, and creative individuals, regardless of experience level or location, are invited to submit a proposal online.

The submission process
Proposals should describe focused, idea-driven, original group exhibitions. No biographical information, CVs, links, or images will be accepted. Submissions cannot exceed 500 words and must be submitted in English. Jurors rate proposals based on their content and the organizer’s ability to communicate, rather than by familiar names or past accomplishments. See examples of past winners here.

The selection process
Rather than convene a small panel to review hundreds of ideas, apexart’s crowd-sourced voting system allows hundreds of jurors to individually review proposals. An international jury composed of 400+ individuals from a wide variety of professional backgrounds—including students at over 10 international universities—will jury the proposals. Proposals are anonymous and randomized to make sure each submission receives the same consideration. apexart staff does not influence the results of the jury in any way.

The results
The five winning proposals will each receive an exhibition budget of 10,000 USD, staff support, and be part of apexart’s 2022-2023 exhibition season. Working closely with the apexart team, curators will realize their original ideas into apexart exhibitions. Exhibition curators are expected, encouraged and challenged to work within the funding provided to transform their winning proposals into small, focused, noteworthy exhibitions.

To submit an exhibition proposal, visit here between October 1-31, 2021.

Call to Artists: Toronto Waterfront Artist Residency 2022

Overview

The Waterfront BIA and Waterfront Toronto are seeking applications for an exciting Artist Residency opportunity. The 12-month residency will start in December 2021 with a period of community integration and research, and will culminate with the implementation of projects during 2022, which will coincide with ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art. Artists will have the opportunity to engage with current projects led by the BIA and Waterfront Toronto, as well as connect with members of the local community, in order to develop innovative and compelling art projects that are relevant to Toronto’s waterfront. This opportunity is open to all professional artists or artist teams in the Greater Toronto Area who have experience in art presented in the public realm and community-engaged art.

The aim of this residency is to create meaningful, experiential encounters with the community, to activate multiple underutilized spaces along the lakefront, and draw new audiences to the waterfront. It will also develop thinking around the 2022 residency focus on climate change. Projects may include workshops, performances, events, urban interventions, and temporary or ephemeral installations. Interactive and participatory projects will be encouraged, as will projects that invite collaborations with artists from different disciplines. This residency will create an opportunity for artists to expand their practice and develop innovative ways to integrate art into the fabric of the city. It will also contribute towards the ongoing dialogue on public art and civic space.

Climate change – a code red threat to humanity, according to the recent United Nations report – requires us to think differently. It challenges us to imagine alternative futures. Highlighting the urgency around the loss of biodiversity and ecological collapse, as well as intersectional equity issues related to the unevenly distributed impacts of nature, is critical. However, just as important is a call-to-action that offers solutions. Public art can help us reckon with the crisis and provoke creative responses, helping us push the boundaries of what can be possible. This artist residency will address climate change through thematics, and will focus on sustainability and the environment by exploring practices, processes, materials, and reuse as important mitigation solutions towards impacts on nature.

COVID-19 has resulted in a constantly evolving present and an unforeseeable future. The approach to this Artist Residency will be rooted in the current times and must therefore involve flexibility, a willingness to improvise, and an ability to think of new ways of engaging the public and using our public spaces. If restrictions are still in place, artists must explore creative ways to engage with communities in ways that are exciting and safe for everyone. These processes must take into consideration public health guidelines.

This project is an equal partnership between Waterfront Toronto and The Waterfront BIA. Funding and artist support will be provided by both organizations.

Call to Artists: Temporary Floating Public Art
Harbour Square Park Basin, Toronto

Opportunity

Waterfront Toronto is seeking to commission a professional artist or artist team to create a temporary floating artwork for Harbour Square Park Basin. Artists are asked to submit proposals for installation during summer 2022. The artwork will activate the basin by engaging with the local community and visitors to the waterfront. This Call is open to all interested Canadian artists and artist teams with relevant experience as practicing professional artists.

Harbour Square Park is located on the shore of Lake Ontario, one of the five Great Lakes of North America. Containing one-fifth of all surface freshwater on Earth, the lakes are a vital source of drinking water and food. Throughout history these interconnected bodies of water have been critically important for trade, human settlement and migration. They are sacred to the First Peoples, who have inhabited the shores and fished in their waters since time immemorial. The lakes’ unique ecosystems are host to a diverse array of plants and animals, and their shores and waters provide recreation for millions of people.

Today, multipoint pollution, climate change, over-extraction, invasive species, and wetland loss are all taking a toll on their watersheds. Water scarcity, often perpetuated by climate change, is one of the most pressing global challenges today, particularly in its relationship to migration. It is imperative we remain engaged with the importance of these waters and with the challenges they face.

With this broad context in mind, artists are asked to develop work that explores water as a connector. They should consider the histories and importance of these waterways and their role as geographical, ecological, political, economic, social, and spiritual connectors.

General Submission Requirements

Waterfront Toronto is inviting practicing professional artists to include in their submission:

• Artist statement
• Images of proposed artwork
• Proposed budget breakdown and schedule
• Images of previous and relevant work
• Artist CV
• References

This is a one-stage competition. Submissions will be reviewed by an independent evaluation panel convened for this project. Waterfront Toronto intends to identify one successful Artist or Artist Team to undertake this project.

Budget

The total commissioning budget is $60,000 CAD +HST. This includes all artist fees, design costs, materials, shipping, installation and removal, insurance and permits.

Timeline

Issue Call – October 13, 2021
Deadline for Questions – November 30, 2021
Submission Deadline – December 10, 2021 at 2pm EST
Artist Selection – Early January 2022
Contract Issued – Mid-January 2022

Calgary Arts Development public art microgrant investment funds are provided through the Government of Alberta and The City of Calgary. We thank these funders for their generous support.

DEADLINE: OCTOBER 18, 2021

Program Overview

This microgrant program recognizes that public art opportunities can come from grassroots ideas that are initiated by professional artists.

Professional artists are defined as artists who are actively pursuing a career in the arts, who have invested in the development of their artistic skills, voice, and goals, and who primarily create artistic work on their own. Professional artists may have formal training, have shared their work publicly, have been compensated for their work, and have a relationship with their artistic communities and peers. Artists do not need to be working professionally in the arts full-time.

Calgary Arts Development invites Calgary and area artists or artist teams to submit their project ideas to create art in public spaces. Professional artists of all experience levels are encouraged to partner with community associations, businesses or private landowners to explore any form of public art in any part of the city.

Please note that this is a request for proposals and an initial artwork concept is required. Artist or artist teams will be expected to complete community engagement after they are commissioned to inform the final artwork concept.

Eligibility

This opportunity is open to Calgary-based professional artists of all disciplines. Individual artists or artist teams or collectives are eligible. Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.

We will only accept one application per group, and only one application per project. You may not receive more than one Calgary Arts Development grant for the same project or phase of a project. Success in this program does not affect your eligibility to apply to other Calgary Arts Development grant investment programs.

This program cannot fund projects retroactively, meaning that projects that have begun before the deadline of October 18, 2021, are not eligible.

Projects funded through this program must be completed by December 31, 2022.

Applicants may apply for up to $40,000 to support eligible projects.

Total funding available for this program is $150,000.

The public art microgrant programs follow many of the same guidelines as Calgary Arts Development’s other granting programs. Please see Investment Program FAQ for answers to common questions, and contact the public art community liaison as early as you can to ensure they can provide the best support possible. Staff can provide feedback on your application up to one week before application deadlines.

We will work one-on-one with applicants who experience barriers to access to develop accommodations that suit their abilities and situations. Some examples of accommodations are:

• Translation of written materials into other languages.
• Transcription of verbal meetings or audio and video recordings into a written document.
• Verbal video or audio applications. If you would prefer to answer the application questions verbally you can submit an audio or video recording of yourself or our staff can help record your responses using an online platform, such as Zoom.
• Language interpretation for phone or video meetings (Note: this will depend on the availability of external service agencies).
• Grant writing assistance if you need help.

• An artist who is Deaf, hard of hearing, has a disability or is living with a mental illness.
• An artist facing language, geographic or cultural barriers.

Please contact Ophelia Liew, Public Art Engagement Liaison, at ophelia [point] liew [arobas] calgaryartsdevelopment [point] com to inquire about application assistance.

ArtworxTO Request for Proposals: Temporary Public Artwork
Deadline: October 18, 2021 at 4:00 pm.
View full Request for Proposals.

Project Overview

The City of Toronto invites professional artists (including artist teams) who have ties to both Toronto and Quebec to submit proposals for an outdoor temporary three-dimensional sculptural public artwork. The artwork will represent the theme of “public art of tomorrow.” The City of Toronto’s new Public Art Strategy seeks to redefine what public art is and what qualifies as public art in our “new normal.” The pandemic has changed the ways in which residents interact and experience public realm, such as public art. As urban areas begin to rebuild and reopen, the public has been forced to reimagine how to move through and relearn space throughout their city. The artwork submissions will depict and predict the future of public art.

The selected artwork will simultaneously celebrate the outstanding relationship between the City of Toronto and the Gouvernement du Quebec, including the close collaborations between Toronto and artistic cities like Montreal and Quebec City. The awarded artwork will be selected by way of peoples’ choice; participants attending the ArtworxTO Symposium: Public Art of Tomorrow will be able to vote for their favourite option.

The project has a maximum budget of $75,000.00 CAD, including all costs associated with the artwork: design fees, fabrication, installation, professional services, insurance, travel and other incidental expenses. The work should not be site specific as the location is not yet confirmed.

Public Art Opportunity

This project will be funded as part of ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art 2021–2022, a year-long celebration of Toronto’s exceptional public art collection and the creative community behind it. Working closely with artists and Toronto’s arts institutions, ArtworxTO will deliver major public art projects and commissions, citywide, from fall 2021 to fall 2022. Supporting local artists and new artworks that reflect Toronto’s diversity, ArtworxTO is creating more opportunities for citizens to engage with art in their everyday lives. This September, the City of Toronto invites the public to discover creativity and community–everywhere. Visit www.artworxTO.ca for full details.

The City of Toronto’s new Public Art Strategy outlines the City’s commitment to public art created for, and with the input of, Toronto communities, and to create opportunities for artists of diverse backgrounds, experience and practice.

The commissioned artist or artist teams will work closely with the City’s Economic Development and Culture division and other partners to develop and complete the project.

Competition Process

This competition is for professional artists or artist teams residing and working in either Toronto or the province of Quebec. The artwork will represent the theme of “the future of public art” while simultaneously celebrating the outstanding relationship between the City of Toronto and the Gouvernement du Quebec. Submissions from women, Indigenous, Black, and racialized artists and those who may not have previously worked in the public realm are especially welcome.

Per the Canada Council’s guidelines, a professional artist is defined as someone who:

has specialized artistic training (not necessarily in academic institutions)
is recognized as a professional by their peers (artists working in the same artistic tradition)
has a history of public exhibitions
has produced an independent body of work
The contract will be awarded on November 26, 2021.

October 18 – 31, 2021: City Divisions will review the applications for feasibility and public safety.

November 1 – 12, 2021: Artistic Director for the ArtworxTO Symposium, MASSIVart, will evaluate the submissions and select the five (5) that best fit the theme and goals described.

Request for Proposals: 7th Street South & Post Public Art Project, City of Lethbridge

Request for Proposals – 7th Street South & Post Public Art Project
The City of Lethbridge is inviting Artists to submit Request for Proposals for a public art project in conjunction with the recent modernization and repurposing of the city’s historical post office and the replacement of an adjacent sidewalk. The art project provides three distinct installation opportunities:

A major walkway connecting the downtown transit hub with the center of downtown
A metal divider adjacent to the loading area for the modernized facility
A series of ground level windows in the building adjacent to the newly upgraded sidewalk
Proposed artworks should enhance the buildings south wing while respecting the original building’s historical presence and value as well as creating an enjoyable pedestrian journey. The selected artist will be responsible for conceptualizing, designing, fabricating and installing permanent artworks that add vibrancy to the downtown environment and improve the pedestrian experience.

7th Street
7th Street serves as a primary pedestrian street with some of the highest pedestrian volumes in Downtown. It connects the Lethbridge Park ’n Ride Transit Terminal to the heart of the downtown core which includes many businesses, Galt Gardens urban park, a community arts centre, a contemporary art gallery and a downtown retail shopping mall. The street is also a designated bicycle travel route and will have cycle lanes constructed in Spring 2022. As part of the Post Office redevelopment project and the 7th Street cycling lanes, restorative work is planned for the sidewalk with the inclusion of a snowmelt heating system.

The Post Building
“Post” is the new name for the building formerly known as the J.D. Higginbotham Building and locally referred to as the downtown Canada Post building. The classic beaux-arts Tyndall stone building has been a local landmark since its construction as the result of an investment from the federal government over one hundred years ago.

Today, the building is privately owned through investments from local parties. The rebrand to Post, along with extensive redevelopment of the buildings dated office space, are important indicators of the historical building’s transition from a federally owned facility to a locally held private entity. The building’s redevelopment is designed to turn the landmark into a vibrant new hub for downtown businesses and innovation through an offering of individual office condo units.

Budget
The all-inclusive budget for the design, fabrication and installation of the 7 Street South & Post Public Art Project is $180,000 plus GST. This fee will be inclusive of all project costs.

Eligibility
The competition is open to qualified professional visual artists as defined by the Canada Council for the Arts. This professional context excludes the school environment, and so a student attending college or in an undergraduate degree program at a university may not enter this competition.

Proposal Submission
Interested artists are invited to view complete RFP details, submit questions and submit proposals at: COL-21-78 – 7 Street South & Post Public Art Project

This opportunity closes on: November 2, 2021
