Volunteer Curator is needed to hang art at a medical clinic.
A Medical clinic in the east end of Ottawa needs a Curator volunteer willing to hang art in their clinic and change it every three months. This is a great opportunity to get your art out of your basement and display it in front of many many eyes with the possibility of selling the work. The clinic does not rent the walls out, they offer them for free. The West Carleton Family Health Team has been doing this in the west end for several years and sales have been made. No fee is paid, but the Curator can request a commission to help offset their time and effort. It's great exposure, and people in the west end are beginning to know the names of the artists who display and remember them when they meet them at other exhibitions.
If you would like more details or to talk to the WCFHT curator, please contact Catherine Gutsche at: cgutsche@xplornet.com or 613-839-1324.

The exciting indie short film MOVE is seeking volunteers to join a team of 30 people for summer production. We are seeking additional set builders, animators, film crew, and editors.

MOVE is an artistic short film that will feature a young man who unexpectedly recovers from a coma, and how his interior life magically guides him to consciousness. MOVE is a hybrid project with surreal stop-motion animation scenes filmed in elaborate miniature sets. The dream scenes will be complemented by subdued live-action scenes with actors in real world settings. The live-action scenes are without dialogue and play very important role in emotionally contextualizing the story.

MOVE is a non-commercial, non-paying and non-union collaborative art project. All MOVE participants including the director, animators, set builders, actors, cinematographers, crew and actors are all volunteering their time. We are gladly able to offer screen credits and copies of the DVD of the completed project!
The stop-motion animation studio is located in Chelsea, Quebec. Car-pooling arrangement can be made. Please contact John Graham for further information.
