CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
2012 Exhibition Season (June to September)

Blink is currently accepting submissions for another active and engaging season. Exhibitions are one to two weeks in length and feature the work of member and guest artists. Blink is a non-profit, Ottawa-based artist collective that supports professional contemporary artists with an interest in exploration. Emphasis is placed on using the gallery space as a laboratory for creative approaches and interventions.

Artists working in all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Submissions of curated and group exhibitions are strongly encouraged. Artists from outside the Ottawa area are welcome to submit however Blink does not cover transportation, accommodation or other exhibition-related costs.

All submissions are juried by Blink. Successful candidates are invited to exhibit at no charge, but are expected to arrange their own openings and gallery-sit for the duration of their exhibition. Each exhibit opens with a Thursday evening vernissage and runs Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Blink will provide a card listing the exhibition schedule for the season.
