Call for Submissions: Static Zine Issue #5 (Toronto, ON)
Static Zine has announced the theme of its 5th issue…fanzines! Each contributor will get one page to make what a page of their fanzine about a topic would look like. Examples of topics include music, movies, actors, musicians, activists, leaders, writers, etc. The contributor is encouraged to use the page to show why they’re fan-ing over the topic through the cut-and-paste/ drawn-on style familiar to fanzines. Email the editors at [email protected] by Monday September 3 to let them you’re interested in contributing, what or who you’d like to fan over and how you would go about doing it. The zine accepts writing, comics, illustration, photos, mixtures of them, etc. Please refer to our previous issues to see our general style.

Long Term Work Exchange Residency: Ross Creek Centre for the Arts (Canning, NS)
Along with its short-term residencies, Ross Creek is seeking artists to participate in longer term residencies and become integral to our community during their stay. We are searching for one long term artist per season who is looking for a residency posting for the fall 2012 or winter 2013 term and is also interested in doing some handy work around the centre. The candidate, in visual or media arts, writing, architecture, film, theatre, dance or music, would ideally have his or her own transportation and would have a working knowledge of carpentry, gardening etc, a great work ethic, and a positive and helpful demeanor. With access to a private studio space 24 hours a day, the artist can focus on their own work while also completing their work exchange hours. For collaborators, we can arrange collaboration times for a larger group to participate in the residency.
We are hoping to have someone from September through December 15, and a different artist from January 15 to April 15, with a small fee paid by the artist for food and heat in the farmhouse. They will cook for themselves, have their own bedroom in the shared artist residency, studio space, and would be asked to work 30 hours a week around the centre in exchange for a contracted residency. We welcome individual and collaborative professional artists of all disciplines and all stages in their careers to participate in Ross Creek.
