Call for Art Works 2024
Submissions CLOSED on Monday, January 29th, 2024
LAIR Artist Awards up to $3500.00 CAD have been funded by Lakehead Research & Innovation
We are inviting works that describe, interpret, promote, and reference research in any scholarly field.
Our call is a celebration of the profound impact of research on our lives. It signifies the pursuit of knowledge and understanding that propels our society forward. It invites us to delve into the wonders that unfold when curiosity leads the way. Through research, we ignite innovation, catalyze positive change, and envision a brighter future filled with endless possibilities. It's about unraveling new potentials, solving complex challenges, and imagining a world where problems become opportunities.
For our annual juried exhibition, we will review local submissions that can be hung in one of our Lakehead Thunder Bay gallery locations and non-local digital works for our online exhibition. We are also able to showcase non-local digital submissions through three of our large exhibition screens through looping video slides. Artworks are on exhibit for one year and photos and videos of accepted works will also remain on the LAIR website exhibit archive.
The LAIR Galleries at Lakehead University will have an on-campus Walking Tour Exhibition launch during Lakehead University’s 19th Research and Innovation Week (February 24 - March 1) in Thunder Bay, ON.
The submission process requires title, year, media, dimensions, a 50 word bio and an artist statement (project abstract) of 50 words including a link to further information about your project if available.
