Guildford Lane Gallery invites artists, curators and otherwise occupied individuals to submit their ideas for THE WEDNESDAY PROJECT. We have dates available in the near future so don’t delay!
The Wednesday Project is a weekly event held amongst the exhibitions at Guildford Lane Gallery with the intention of fostering marginal, peripheral and/or ephemeral art forms, as well as critical forums. It encourages exploration and collaboration; cross-discipline, cross-genre, cross-media, you name it! The Wednesday Project appreciates the old and welcomes the new and unheard of; it is a platform for the fruition of your most ambitious ideas.
To give you an idea of its scope, Wednesday Projects thus far have involved experimental music, sound, sculpture, installation and performance. It could also include lectures, poetry, philosophical discussions, screenings, contemporary dance or live artworks. Our audience should not know what to expect next!
Criteria for Inclusion:
- Collaborative and/or Mixed Media works
-
Unusual/Experimental
-
Well-constructed for an audience; timing and performance/presentation methods for each event have been planned accordingly. This does not mean highly finished, works in progress are fine, particularly if you are seeking audience interaction/feedback.
Each programmer produces a series of Wednesday evenings, usually held one month apart. This requires that it progresses or changes in some way, so that you are not presenting a repeat “performance” each event. The series may include 3 – 6 events. Consideration will be given to projects that request consecutive weeks programming or other scheduling requirements.
The Gallery and its team of volunteers provide the following in-kind support because we believe such a Program would not be possible with the usual associated costs.
• A space amongst an exhibition on 1 of the 3 floors • PA Equipment, HD projector & DVD players (subject to booking) • Electronic publicity & a simple hard copy flyer • A pay bar • Door staff
Programmers / Artists are responsible for producing their event from start to finish and conducting some publicity. Please note, the Gallery does not pay artists/programmer fees, nor reimburse for costs associated with running a Wednesday Project event. Programmers may request a donation door entry from the audience, not exceeding $5.
It is important to remember that Projects occur amongst exhibitions, which requires some flexibility. If you have particular requirements that may impinge on this aspect please specify these elements in your proposal.
