CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS WINDOW EXHIBITION - 2022-2023 PROGRAMMING

Facebook Event

La Centrale galerie Powerhouse is an artist-run centre dedicated to the dissemination and development of multidisciplinary feminist practices. We are committed to supporting practices and artists who are not very visible in the dominant cultural institutions, and this at various stages of their careers. Our mandate focuses on feminisms that enter into dialogue with intersectionality and social justice. Our programming is built on the basis of non-hierarchy and consensus, by selection committees made up of active members of the centre.

The gallery’s window is a space that offers artists visibility directly on one of Montreal’s most lively streets, Boulevard Saint-Laurent. The projects submitted must use the window showcase as a scenographic element in order to create a dialogue between the work and the passers-by and residents of the neighbourhood. La Centrale welcomes visual artists from all disciplines who resonate with the centre’s mandate.

We pay exhibition fees and honoraria according to the rates recommended by the Canadian Artists’ Representation / Front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC).
