Open Call for all Artists in Nunavut for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver

The Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association (NACA) is proud to announce an open call for all artists in Nunavut who are interested in participating in the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Vancouver.

The intention of this program is to send six artists to Vancouver, representing a wide range of talents and skills from across the territory. We will work in partnership with existing galleries in the city of Vancouver to strengthen relations and cross promote emerging and existing artists. Through this project, Nunavut is committed to showcasing emerging artists who do not have an existing presence with the galleries in Vancouver.
This search will focus on representation from the following groups of artists:

• 1 Jewelry Maker
• 1 Print Maker
• 1 Doll Artist
• 1 Wall Hanging Artist
• 1 Carver

There will be a sixth place held for one additional artist of no specific genre. All applications will be accepted and considered. Artists working in multiple genres are encouraged to apply. The selection will come down to need and programming opportunities that arise for participation in games time activities.

Applications should be submitted to the Nunavut Arts and Crafts Association by October 20th 2009.
