Lead by our team of artistic directors and supported by our volunteers, hub14 is a self-sustaining studio and performance incubator nestled in the Queen West area of Toronto. Space is our biggest asset.
Our mission:
hub14 aims to provide affordable space for the independent contemporary performance community in Toronto and beyond. We support artists through an evolving roster of programs including artistic residencies, workshops and presenting opportunities as well as a variety of community-engaged initiatives.
Our vision:
Our vision is to be a cultural hub for independent contemporary artists to explore, critically examine their art and refine their training without exterior commitments and less financial pressure. We encourage conversation between artistic disciplines.
*****
Professional artists at all stages of their career who want to explore within or outside of their core discipline(s) as well as artists from a diversity of backgrounds and experience are encouraged to apply.
hub14 encourages inventiveness and excellence by granting free and discounted space so that artists may afford more time for process-based and developmental research.
As a residency artist, you’ll be provided with a blog, an interview, artist profile and video-documentation along with support from hub14’s artistic directors.
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS:
research hub // We offer up to 40 hours of studio time free of charge or heavily subsidized. The program offers the opportunity for showings although these are not mandatory. We are looking for ideas at their early stages, and/or which have not been previously workshopped.
launchpad // Geared toward work that is already commissioned or programmed, yet underfunded. We offer up to 40 hours of studio time.
live-in // Intended for artists living outside of Toronto. Artists are invited to live and create at hub14 for a maximum of two-week stay in April/ May 2017. A minimum of one showing and documentation are required throughout the Residency. An interview is required.
community chest // Special initiatives proposed by and/or supporting the community. Examples include community workshops, performance series, artist discussions, etc.
gallery series // Proposals for all-access gallery pop-ups of up to 3 days. Submissions can include film, photography, installation, visual art works, etc. Applications may be scheduled as solo exhibitions or a mixed program; this will be determined in context of the proposals reviewed.
