Synonym Art Consultation will share their vast experience in presenting cultural programming in unconventional spaces. This workshop will provide tools, discussion and examples of successful exhibitions for artists in a wide variety of venues, from traditional galleries, to restaurants, to the streets. What are the risks and what are the opportunities in presenting outside of a white cube? Chloe Chafe will focus on creative marketing of off-gallery programming and Andrew Eastman will discuss the ins and outs of partnerships and funding opportunities for artists.
Instructor: Synonym is committed to providing meaningful employment and mentorship opportunities to artists and to facilitating the celebration of art and culture with unique, inclusive, community-minded events. Through the mural and culture festival, Wall-to-Wall, Synonym cultivates a grassroots, contemporary street art movement in Winnipeg and participates in hyper-local and international dialogues around important issues, such as Indigenous rights, social responsibility and innovative economic development rooted in the arts.
