CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

This is an open call for submissions for artists who are living and working in Canada to exhibit in San Francisco.

The exhibition will showcase the work of 6 - 8 emerging Canadian multidisciplinary visual artists. We will bring together work that speaks of contemporary art trends of the country. The exhibition will be mounted during a very interesting time in Canada, the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver (February 12 - 28, 2010). We believe that during this time, some of the stereotypes, symbols, themes, and political workings of Canada will be disseminated into U.S. media, giving a local audience a backdrop for the work that we are showcasing.

This exhibition will be held at The Lab, a not for profit gallery located in San Francisco's Mission district. www.thelab.org
