Apply to Show at NAC

Members in good standing intending to make use of the DTMG will submit a formal proposal to the NAC Selection Committee, a standing committee of the Board of Directors. Submissions will be reviewed on a quarterly basis and will include:

• Ten images (digital), video, or other appropriate documentation
• A description of the proposed show (one page or less)
• A statement about the work (one page or less)
• A resume and/or bio of the artist (three pages or less)

Please email your submission to artists@nac.org with Dennis Tourbin Members Gallery in the subject line.

DTMG bookings will be approximately two weeks in duration. Arrangements must be made with NAC staff for installing and striking.

NAC is a collective of working artists and arts supporters. It is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of a majority of artists. NAC is mandated to support and advance contemporary art practices. The following criteria will be followed in selecting exhibitions:

• The proposal’s use of the venue
• The development of the work to assure follow-through on the part of the member artist in meeting their commitment to using the space
• The ability of the work to communicate in the dialogue of developing, emerging, or established contemporary art practices
• The ability of the work to meet NAC community standards
• As the DTMG is not part of the publicly funded NAC programme, no artist or exhibition fees are paid. All DTMG presentations are listed and documented by NAC as ancillary programming

Niagara Artists Centre is an artist-run centre dedicated to the presentation of contemporary art in all media. Priority is given to submissions that address the specific nature of the NAC space. Submissions from artists and curators for both visual and time based art and new media works are welcome. Artists for all programmed exhibitions and installations are paid above recommended CAR/FAC rates. NAC also pays artist travel and transportation of the work. NAC designs and produces all print material for exhibitions in the Show Room Gallery.

Submissions to NAC are considered by a Selections Committee comprised of members of the Board of Directors and NAC members. Deadline for submissions is on-going.
