2018/19 season residencies
request for proposals
hub14 encourages inventiveness & excellence by granting free & discounted space so that artists may afford more time for process-based & developmental research.
RESIDENCY PROGRAMS:
research hub
We offer up to 40 hours of studio time, free or heavily subsidized. The program offers the opportunity for showings although these are not mandatory. We are looking for ideas at the early stages, which have not been previously work-shopped. Note: a showing is not required but also not discouraged.
launchpad
Geared towards work that is already commissioned or programmed, yet underfunded. We offer up to 40 hours of studio time, free or heavily subsidized. Emerging artists may request an outside eye from our Artistic Director-ship at a subsidized rate. Note: a public/invited showing is required.
live-in
Intended for artists living & working outside of Toronto. Artists are invited to live & create at hub14 for a maximum two-week stay. A minimum of one showing & documentation are required throughout the residency. An interview (Skype or phone) may be required. Note: we convert hub14 to a live-in studio complete with basic necessities (futon/bed, hotplate & fridge, shower, linens & towels, utensils & cookware, some appliances).
community chest
Special initiatives proposed by and/or supporting the community. The idea is to bring a community into hub, or to bring hub into a community. Examples include workshops, performance series, artist discussions, etc. Events must be free or PWYC & encourage inclusiveness of all kinds. Note: hub14 has a small staircase leading to its entry & is therefore, unfortunately, not barrier-free.
gallery series
Proposals for all-access gallery pop-ups of up to 3 days. Our interest here is to support the convergence of visual art/installation/film/photography & performance. Immersive environments fit well into this category. Note: applications may be scheduled as solo exhibitions or a mixed program; this will be determined in context of the proposals reviewed.
