Opportunities for artists + arts workers in the Katarokwi/Kingston region

Calls for Submissions / Applications

Call for Submissions: 2026 Multifaith Calendar (Multifaith Action Society)
Deadline:  31 January 2025

Each year, the Multifaith Action Society invites artists to submit works of art for publication in our upcoming Multifaith Calendar.

The theme for our upcoming 2026 edition is: Growth and Change

We believe this theme is open to a wide variety of interpretations and leaves open the possibility for a rich array of artistic submissions.

In our 2026 Multifaith Calendar, Growth and Change, we invite artists to reflect deeply on these perennial questions and to channel their visions of growth and change into artwork that personifies, among other things, personal development, self-discovery, and self-reflection… striving to build deeper connections within as well as reaching out to the world around us.

Submission Guidelines: Artists can submit up to 5 works for consideration and artwork on this theme can be submitted in any medium. All artists are invited to submit including those who have never been featured in the Calendar and those who have been featured in past editions. Ultimately, the interpretation of the theme will be determined by the overall collection of images received.

How We Pay Artists:  Selected artists will be offered an honorarium of $250 per monthly calendar image, $500 for the cover image, and $100 for smaller inset images placed throughout the Calendar. In addition, featured artists will receive a set of complimentary Calendars once published.

How to Submit Entries: Submit digital images (up to 5) in low resolution (jpg/72dpi) to: artsubmissions@multifaithaction.org

Should a piece be chosen, we will contact the artist and request a high resolution version of the image (min 400 dpi).

Address any questions to: artsubmissions@multifaithaction.org

Directors Lab North 2025 Cohort (Directors Lab North)
Deadline:
18 February, 2025

About DLN

Directing can be a lonely, insular profession. The Lab remedies this by exposing the participants to a network of colleagues that they would not have had the opportunity to connect with otherwise.  Participants will be exposed to foreign techniques and practices, broadening their scope and repertoire. It is a series of workshops, readings, rehearsals, investigations, roundtable discussions, shared sessions and master classes with Master Directors from around Canada and the world.

The Lab is not a place for career advancement or resume building. It’s a place to grow, meet other directors, think, and explore. We are looking for directors with hands-on experience: directors who are out there continually making art – practicing directors.

The Lab is by application only. Each participant is hand selected, ensuring a diverse background in theatrical exploration. Each participant will bring a distinct voice to the group, exposing you to practices and principles far from your own theatrical experience, adding to each director’s technical and philosophical arsenal. The Lab schedule and guest artists will be revealed the first day of the Lab to participants.

The Directors Lab is free of charge and geared toward professional directors in all stages of their career. A maximum of 25 applicants will be admitted. Please note that Lab participants must provide their own transportation to and from the Lab as well as lodging, food and incidental expenses while attending the Lab.

All applications must be submitted by Tuesday, February 18, 2025.
Applicants will be notified of their acceptance no later than Friday, March 21, 2025.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT DIRECTORS LAB NORTH 2025:
DATES: Monday, June 9 – Sunday, June 15, 2025

PRIMARY LOCATION: University of Toronto, Downtown Campus, Toronto, Canada.

Lab hours are approximately 10am-10pm EVERY DAY.
