Call for Secrets: Soundry/Secrets
The creative listening laboratory/magazine Soundry is launching a new publication/listening project called Secrets. It’s an audio show of anonymous audio secrets that hopes to “connect strangers with strangers through the human voice.” We listened to the first episode, Tasting Room – it’s beautiful, heartbreaking and intriguing (it is also super short – listen below.)
They are looking for your secrets for upcoming episodes. Learn more on the project page and use the submission form anytime. Your submission is anonymous and will be read aloud by an anonymous stranger.

Call for Submissions: Art Spin 2014 (Toronto, ON)
Now in its sixth year, Art Spin is basically a bike art crawl – a big group of cyclists trawl the city and stop at various curated stops, including galleries, studios and live performances. They are opening their call for submissions for the 2014 event, which takes place over three tours on Thursday, June 26th, Thursday, July 31st and Thursday, August 28th. Projects from all disciplines will be considered, but the group issues the caveat: “Artists should keep in mind the large number of participants on Art Spin tours. Projects that can be easily viewed/experienced by larger groups are more successful as well as interactive projects.”
Fun! Find out more at the guidelines page. Deadline for submissions is March 7, 2014.
