4th Line Theatre is seeking project proposals from local artists for original or existing artworks to be featured in the 2022 Digital Festival of Light & Dark.
The Digital Festival of Light & Dark will foster virtual engagement between local artists and community members from Millbrook, Peterborough, Lakefield, Port Hope, Cobourg and surrounding areas.
“I am thrilled to bring back the Festival of Light & Dark for a second year. Last year the response to the works created was overwhelming. In 2021, we supported 12 artists and this year we are excited to see what types of projects will be submitted,” said Managing Artistic Director Kim Blackwell.
Proposals may feature one or more of the following art forms: dance, film, theatre, music, visual art & photography. Priority will be given to artists who explore the concepts of light and/or the darkness, in whatever medium they choose to work.
4th Line Theatre will award micro-grants of $250 to each successful applicant. Proposals must include a 300-word description of the proposed project and the Artist(s)’s CV/Bio.
The deadline to submit proposals is Nov. 24, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. All proposals must be emailed to 4th Line’s Artistic Administrator, Jess McDougall, at jess@4thlinetheatre.on.ca
Successful project applicants will be notified by November 29, 2021. Artists will then have two months to prepare a video or film which runs five minutes or less, that showcases their new or existing piece of video art.
The videos will be released on 4th Line Theatre’s YouTube channel for viewing as of Monday, January 24, 2022. These videos will be available to the public to view at no cost.
For more information regarding the festival, please contact Jess McDougall by phone at 705-932-4448 or by email at jess@4thlinetheatre.on.ca.
