Particle + Wave Call for Submissions
EMMEDIA Gallery & Production Society
Deadline to apply: September 6, 2025
Submit your media art proposals for audiovisual performances, exhibitions and screenings! Exhibitions and installations will be displayed at EMMEDIA’s Gallery and Screening Room. We are excited to partner with TELUS Spark again for this edition! Performances and Screenings will be presented at TELUS Spark’s Infinity Dome theatre.
We are currently seeking experimental artwork that pushes boundaries and invites dialogue. If it’s new, experimental, interdisciplinary, or just interesting, you are likely to see it at Particle+Wave. Over the past year, our community has been actively exploring topics around artificial intelligence, and we’re excited to see how artists respond to and reflect on these conversations through their work. We have shown XR, VR, and AI-based works; sound installations, computer games, and custom-made machines in past editions.
We strongly encourage submissions from underrepresented groups, including LGBTQ2S+, BIPOC, people with disabilities, and artists whose perspectives are often marginalized in mainstream spaces.
Deadline to apply: September 6, 2025 at 12 midnight MT.
Artist Fees
All selected artists will be paid according to CARFAC-RAAV minimum recommended fee schedule. Contingent on funding, EMMEDIA will support the shipment of artwork. Production costs will generally be the responsibility of the artist. Extraordinary costs associated with presentation will be negotiated with the artist on a case-by-case basis.
Review Procedure
Proposals for Particle + Wave are selected through a peer review process by our Programming Committee. The Committee consists of local artists, writers, and curators who have extensive and varied media arts backgrounds. Proposals will be selected based on consideration of the following criteria: artistic merit of the proposed project, fit with EMMEDIA’s mandate, feasibility of the proposed shipping expenses, and our ability to provide appropriate space/support for the project.
