Call for Proposals: Canzine Toronto Art Rooms and Canzine Symposium!
We’re looking for a few good ideas – for art rooms at Canzine 2013 in Toronto on Sunday October 19, and workshop/presentation proposals for our Canzine Symposium, happening Saturday October 18.
For the Symposium: Proposals should include a brief 2-3 paragraph description of the proposed workshop or panel including topic to be covered and planned speakers and activity. Panels and workshops should be focussed on skills development for independent creators working in the mediums of self publishing and zine/comic/book/web arts. All panel and workshop participants will receive an honorarium.
For the Art Rooms: The arts rooms at Canzine provide a day long immersive experience to the 800-1000 attendees at the Canzine festival. The intention of the art room is to stimulate, provoke and advance the discussion around the possibilities of independent arts and culture creativity. Past art rooms have included all day jam sessions, DIY board games, mini-film festivals and an all day crocheting lessons drop-in. Proposals should include a brief 2-3 paragraph description of the proposed art room and schedule of activities. Note: Art room occupants pay a fee and the art room creators are able to sell art works, zines, comics, books, t-shirts etc. as well as disperse information to promote their future activities.
Here’s the complete guidelines. Email [email protected] with your proposal by August 20, 2013
