To complement their winter exhibition, SEARCHING FOR TOM | Tom Thomson: Man, Myth and Masterworks, The Museum in downtown Kitchener is launching an official call to artists to submit proposals for inclusion in the show. The first ever Gamble Family Award will be granted at the end of the summer.
The Searching for Tom exhibition, is primarily based on the famous Canadian painter Tom Thomson. One artist will also win the first ever Gamble Family Award which includes an honourarium of $10,000 and inclusion of their piece in Searching for Tom, which opens in February 2011. The Museum is looking for a unique proposal with a digital media component which creatively interprets, through a contemporary Canadian lens, an aspect of Tom Thomson: Man, Myth and Masterworks. The jury will consider works from Canadian artists in all media including sculpture, performance, video, audio, installation, photography, painting and drawing. The work is required to have some digital media component and interactivity will be considered an asset.
The full call for the Gamble Family Award is available at http://www.thechildrensmuseum.ca/web/pages/get-interactive/museum-exhibits.php.
