Call for Submissions The Living Arts Centre invites artists to submit works for Saving Face, an exhibition about contemporary portraiture in Canada and its relevance today. Portraiture is constantly reinventing itself. Within the expanding boundaries of art media, countless functions for reproducing human likeness exist – preservation, the deconstruction of identity, homage, etc. Yet despite this expansion, portraiture is often associated with tradition. Saving Face asks artists to re-evaluate the portrait within a contemporary framework. Drawing from the history of the genre and integrating media both old and new, the exhibition will identify contemporary Canadian portraiture and reveal new trends in its practice. Artists working in all media are encouraged to submit up to two works for consideration. Cash prizes will be awarded. Exhibition jurors: Notification of Acceptance: Artists will be notified by phone or email on Wednesday, August 17, 2011 if their piece has been selected to be in the exhibition. Only those accepted will be notified. Accepted artists will receive details pertaining to the exhibition including delivery of artwork, insurance, opening reception and awards.
