Located in the Dupont Arts Building, NAMARA Projects is a new venue for research, deliberation, and presentation of curatorial work.

NAMARA works around the fluctuating borders of the traditional art world. The explorations conducted in the Project Space inform both independent and commissioned presentations. Through our work, we celebrate thoughtful work by contemporary artists; challenge traditions, experimenting with untested methods; and welcome new collaborators and audiences.

We invite curators to respond to this open call for curatorial proposals. There is no criteria nor deadline but we ask that your proposal is tailored to the space. Digital or online components are also welcome. A maximum of four proposals per year will be accepted.

Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba, with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts, mounts monthly online exhibitions to showcase the work of Canadian artists with disabilities. Our goal is to increase awareness of the amazing artworks being created by artists with disabilities, and to decrease barriers to participation in the arts for both makers and audiences.

Emerging and established artists of all disciplines are welcome to submit work for consideration. Submissions are reviewed by an AANM committee. Selected artists will receive CARFAC artist fees, and limited assistance with documentation/presentation of work if necessary. We thank you for your interest. Only selected artists will receive notification, however we will keep all submissions on file for consideration for future shows.

To apply, send a brief proposal and three small examples of your artworks to programming@aanm.ca.
