Xpace Cultural Centre is seeking workshop proposals from emerging artists, curators and arts administrators!

Deadline: Ongoing

Our workshop program is presented to the Tkaronto emerging art and design community free-of-charge and programmed on an ongoing basis with the intention of responding to the ongoing needs and interests of emerging creative practitioners in our community.Workshops at Xpace are developed to provide practical tools for emerging artists to deepen their knowledge of topics ranging from art documentation and intellectual property to portfolio building and grant writing. We also program workshops geared towards developing creative skill sets such as rug hooking, digital game development and tarot reading. Workshops are also built with the intention to empower artists to advocate for themselves and their communities: presenting information and tools on issues such as tenant rights, de-escalation strategies and cyber security. Most recently, we’ve begun integrating workshop programs that offer tools for self and collective care practices such as intentional movement, breath work and mindfulness – as we recognize how crucial this is to our community’s physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.

Workshop proposals in any topic will be considered, and Xpace will prioritize projects that:

  • Can be planned and hosted online
  • Utilize free or PWYC resources and/or require minimal to no purchases on behalf of the participants (ie) paid softwares like Adobe, expensive equipment, tools or materials
  • Engages with specific skills that benefit emerging artists and students

Workshop facilitators are paid a fee of CAD $316 to develop and execute their project, with the option of requesting CAD $50 for additional materials.The maximum duration of a workshop is 3 hours.
