Le Labo invites all francophone and francophile artists and curators to apply to our calls. To see the details of these calls, their guidelines, the documents required* for project submissions and the support offered, go to the pages of each call:<\/p>\n
Call for Exhibition assistance<\/strong><\/a> Besides our yearly calls for submission that are exclusive to the Labo’s members for exhibitions such as our annual silent auction, the FAAS (Foire d\u2019art alternatif de Sudbury), Cin\u00e9franco and more. We invite you to become a member<\/a> to enjoy all our services.<\/p>\n\n\n *New in 2022: <\/em> FAQ <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Francophile: a person who has a strong affinity towards the French language and\/or Francophone history in Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Francophone*: based on the Government of Ontario\u2019s Inclusive Definition of Francophone (IDF), which includes \u201cthose persons whose mother tongue is French, plus those whose mother tongue is neither French nor English but have a particular knowledge of French as an Official Language and use French at home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n * Ontario\u2019s Francophone population is culturally diverse and includes people from countries all over the French-speaking world. For many Francophones, the arts are a critical link between language and cultural identity, and Ontario\u2019s Francophone artists are deeply valued by their communities. Because Francophone individuals and communities are dispersed throughout Ontario, Francophone artists and arts organizations may face particular challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The artist or curator who presents the project must be able to communicate in French and develop bilingual context about the exhibition. If the curator is francophone or francophile, the artist presented does not have to be and vice versa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We refer to artworks involving the recording of either images, sounds, or new technologies in the broadest possible sense. We are very open to discovering projects from any background if they involve technology at any point in the process or outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are limited to one CARFAC artist fee per project. Unfortunately, Le Labo is not able to cover additional fees for additional artists\/participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Le Labo is not responsible for shipping. You can find Le Labo’s layout on the page dedicated to our space<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For several years we have been in partnership with Charles Street Video. We invite you to visit their page<\/a> and prefer material tagged with our logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any activity that involves a close relationship with the public at a specific time such as a workshop for professional artists, the general public or children, a guided tour, participation in a podcast, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the project presented includes this mediation activity, Le Labo will pay an additional fee to the artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To benefit from technical support and access professional equipment and setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
