time to start thinking about back alley art...

ALLEYJAUNT
local art in local garages

Open Call for Submission
Deadline: May 1, 2007

ALLEYJAUNT is Toronto's alternative, urban, community arts event. Through the transformation of garages and alleys into exhibition spaces, ALLEYJAUNT gives exposure to local artists, encourages public interaction with art, integrates contemporary art into public space, and reaches out to a diverse community of all ages within the Trinity Bellwoods Park neighbourhood setting.

ALLEJYAUNT invites artists and collectives to submit proposals for 2007. We are soliciting proposals for garage exhibitions as well as proposals for installations, performances and other works that animate the park and alleyway spaces. ALLEYJAUNT supports experimentation and collaboration within contemporary art, and we are open to diverse media and practices.

We are seeking projects that touch upon one or several of these criteria:
Projects designed for a specific site (garage, alley, park, etc.)
Projects that connect the diverse community that uses the garage and alley spaces
Projects that provide critical reflection on the nature of urban experience
Artistic interventions that captures the flux, chance and accident of everyday life.

Proposals will be evaluated according to the critical merit of the overall theme/concept, the adherence to ALLEYJAUNT'S mandate, and the feasibility of the project


The 5th annual ALLEYJAUNT will be held on August 11 & 12, 2007
