Art+ Artist Open Call
The ART+ Series is a program that will include 20 artists in 2 showcases at Arts Court, Ottawa. In addition, each showcase will have a capacity-building component to continue building sustainable artistic practices for artists belonging to equity-seeking groups.
The ART+ Series will showcase and celebrate equity, diversity, inclusion and pluralism (EDIP) in the arts, including local artists from all Western and non-Western art disciplines. It serves as a platform to bridge the gap between the established Ottawa Cultural Sector and marginalized communities, creating paid opportunities for artists belonging to equity-seeking groups (ESG) to participate and elevate their voices.
MAC-CAM programs are inclusive and safe spaces open to artists and cultural workers interested in learning and exchanging ideas. MAC-CAM's mandate prioritizes immigrant, refugee, Indigenous, Black, and racialized artists.
