Call for Submissions 2017/18: CCA Glasgow

Intermedia is an independent gallery space funded by Glasgow City Council and managed by the CCA in partnership with Glasgow Life. The gallery is located within the CCA but operates independently of the CCA’s curated exhibition programme.

Proposals for exhibitions at Intermedia for the period May 2017 – April 2018 are now being sought. If you are interested in exhibiting, please complete the application form on the website and return it with your exhibition proposal: this should take the form of one pdf document and include all supporting information (including cover letter, links, images, etc.).

If possible please apply via email, however hard copies will be accepted. The submission should include, as one single pdf document;

• A description of the work that will be exhibited.
• A C.V. for each artist involved in the exhibition.
• Six images of each artist’s work. Please send images in PDF format, if possible, all contained with a single overall submission document. If you require support please contact jennifer@cca-glasgow.com. Images on disk will be accepted but email applications are preferred. Artists working in time based media may submit online links to work (such as Youtube or Vimeo), but please ensure these are listed within the submission document. Alternatively, artists may submit a DVD which should last, in total, no more than 7 – 10 minutes but which may include edited pieces from a number of works. All material should be clearly labelled detailing the work it contains and the full duration of the pieces. (Please specify whether the images are of work you intend to exhibit.)
• Cover letters and any additional information may also be included as part of the submission, but please ensure these are contained within the overall submission document – content from email cover letters will not be referred to in the shortlisting process.

Applications from Glasgow-based practitioners will be prioritised. Submissions from artists who will not be in full-time education at the time of exhibition will also be prioritised. UK-wide and International proposals will be accepted if the proposal demonstrates an invigilation plan for the exhibition.

Funding is awarded to exhibiting artists towards exhibition costs. In return, artists take full responsibility for organising, curating, installing, publicising, invigilating and de-installing their exhibition.

Historically, Intermedia’s programme has aimed to support emerging artists working in Glasgow. We recognise that ‘emerging’ is a word often associated with age, however, we believe that an artistic practice can ‘emerge’ or ‘re-emerge’ at any stage in life. The overall selection aims to find a balance between gender, artistic content, contemporary discourse and different media. The selection process is consciously non-discriminatory against sexuality, ethnicity and disability. If you have any questions about application please feel free to get in touch.

Your application must arrive no later than 5pm on the closing date, Monday 6 February 2017. We are unable to accept late applications.
