We are excited to share that LOWAC has received additional funding from the Ontario Arts Council for our Arts@Home program! We are looking to add sessions in May and June 2022.
We are open to all ideas: presentations that can be in the form of an interactive workshop showing a specific technique or specialty, a live performance (music, drama, dance, vocal), etc., a culinary extravaganza; essentially artistry in any form. Be creative. This is your chance to show your amazing talents.
Member artists will receive $300. Non-member artists/groups will receive $275 and a one-year LOWAC membership.
Deadline for submissions is Friday, December 17, 2021. The LOWAC Board will then choose amongst the proposals to ensure a fair representation of all disciplines and a variety of audience experiences, notifying the successful presenters in early 2022. Tentatively, these are the dates – presentations usually run 7 to 9 p.m. Rehearsal dates are open for discussion.
- Wednesday May 11 (rehearsal Monday May 9)
- Wednesday May 25 (rehearsal Thursday May 19)
- Wednesday June 8 (rehearsal Monday June 6)
ZOOM sessions will be promoted through social media, our website, email, the Kenora Miner & News, 89.5 FM, and our partners in the community.
To be eligible, artists must:
- Have access to a computer with stable video capability and a reliable Internet connection
- A space from which to conduct their workshop/presentation that meets any ongoing social and physical distancing requirements
- Provide their own materials for their activity
- Be available for a rehearsal prior to their session
- Be available at the agreed upon date and time for their session
- Be open to communicating their activity within their networks
If any of the above requirements are an issue, please indicate in your proposal and we will see how we can help.
Proposals should include:
- A description of what you wish to present
- Theme of presentation (if applicable)/what is being conveyed
- Some consideration for how viewers can participate in the activity (paint, draw, read, dance, sing, etc.)
- Format of presentation – workshop, performance, presentation, etc.
- Bio and contact information – email and telephone #
- 1 to 2 samples of work related to the proposal if available
- If possible, a LOWAC member reference
- Preferred dates for presentation
Currently, the plan is to only offer the sessions online in English. Payment will be provided by cheque in Canadian funds upon completion of the session.
Email your submission no later than midnight December 17, 2021, to lowacdirectors@gmail.com.
Questions can also be sent to that email or president@lowac.ca.
