TRUCK is now accepting submissions for our 2024–2025 program schedule!

Application Form: https://airtable.com/shrPS0bB5AOUsNGuf
Online Info Session: Tuesday, March 28 at 7pm via Zoom (Meeting ID: 846 8595 0260, Passcode: 255350)
The online info session will go over the application form and provide an opportunity for artists to ask questions about the process. A recording of this session will be available to view on our website after it has finished.
In-Person Feedback/Working Day: Saturday, April 22 from 1 – 6pm at TRUCK.
Folks are welcome to come by the gallery where Co-Directors May G N and Alicia Buates McKenzie will be on hand to give feedback on a first-come, first-served basis. We will also have tables set up and coffee brewing for anyone who needs space to work on their submissions for the day.
This year, we are piloting a new system for our Call for Submissions that prioritizes collaborative processes, mutual mentorship and exchange, and developing fruitful connections between artists of all career levels and experience. We want TRUCK to become a place where artists meet, practice, and grow together.
As we develop a more curatorial approach to programming, we aim to move away from specifically soliciting project proposals, and instead gathering “artist profiles” that speak to the overall artistic practice of each applicant. With this in mind, we will be primarily focused on facilitating group exhibitions and projects that are developed collaboratively between selected artists and TRUCK.
In the instances where an applicant has a curatorial or otherwise more concrete project in mind, we have made provisions for brief description of the project where details, involved artists and other relevant information may be included. This is optional, and the presence of a project description will not impact the chances of your application seeing acceptance into our programming.
All selected artists are paid in accordance with CARFAC. There is no fee to apply.
Please note that only selected artists will be contacted by TRUCK. We are grateful for every submission that is sent our way, however, due to the volume received, we are unable to provide feedback on unsuccessful submissions.
All submissions will be kept for one year, at which point you may submit your profile again. Repeat submissions within the same year will be summarily removed.
