ABOUT ARCA: Artist-Run Centres and Collectives Conference / La Conférence des collectifs et des centres d’artistes autogérés (ARCA) is a national arts service organization (NASO) bringing together nine artist-run associations from across Canada collectively representing over 180 artist-run centres each serving unique geographies and communities of artists and arts professionals. Artist-Run Centres (ARC) currently form an intricate network spanning across Canada comprising arts presentation spaces, exhibition venues, artists' studios, production facilities, arts hubs, collective spaces, archives, publishing houses, magazines, bookstores and festivals. Our Artist-Run Centre Artist & Curator Internship Program (ACI) brings organizations, mentors and emerging arts professionals together from across Canada. The location of actions are primarily from home with digital workspaces as all activities are development-based preparing arts professionals for major presentations and digital dissemination. As a virtual program all employees will be working off-site, from their homes across Canada while still corresponding directly with our head-office in Ontario as our base of operations and place of employment.
ABOUT ACI: The ACI program employs Artists, Curators, Designers and Illustrators as a large emerging artist team. This program is designed to offer valuable work experience through a facilitated virtual creation process working with ARCA staff, curators, designers and artist mentors. As emerging arts professionals ACI interns engage directly with Artist-Run Centres and various arts actions to learn functionality of operations for more than 180 galleries, collectives and festivals while producing both independent creation processes and working towards collaborative development. ACI develops creative, communication, coordination and administrative skills through a full summer of virtual gatherings and collaborative exchanges where all ACI interns witness, learn and share together. The independent and collaborative work that is produced during the summer has many opportunities for interns to listen, learn and share while building a much needed track record within a professional arts setting removing barriers and offering access for an improved artistic career path.
REQUIREMENTS: The ACI program is an employment and training program working between multiple government agencies. We accept applicants with a career focus on an arts-related field of study including any artistic background, genre or category. We are seeking creative contributors that want to produce a body of work either alone or through collaborative environments and that are seeking mentorship or support in their development. We welcome all applications but have limited positions.
HOW TO APPLY: Applicants wishing to apply to the ACI program must send an up to date resume and/or CV to info@arca.art. Please include a cover letter and any examples of existing artwork you wish to be reviewed.
