Online until: October 2, 2022
Deadline: Wednesday, June 22, 2022
Jurors: Virginia Eichhorn, Cesar Forero and Joseph Muscat

The Nipissing Regional Curatorial Collective, (NRCC), the Propeller Art Gallery in Toronto, and the International Broken Forests Group are reaching out to visual and media artists to SUBMIT AN ARTWORK created to relate to the stated themes of Old Growth Resurrection, Regeneration and Intervention.

CALL THEME

To nurture and raise awareness, through art and art actions, the growth of all wild places, and to effect an increase in forest biodiversity around the world. We also hope that this exhibition will shine a light on exploitative forces that are destroying forest species and ecosystems and draw attention to the need to protect the wilderness and ancient sites that we hold to be spiritually significant.

The Old Growth juried exhibition will be displayed in Propeller’s South Gallery concurrent with the Broken Forests Group in Propeller’s North Gallery.

The Broken Forests Group is an international collective of artists coming together in Canada this year to raise awareness about the dire plight of the world’s forests through their art and art interventions.  Propeller is pleased to be a partner in this contemporary art project, curated by Dermot Wilson and Cesar Forero of the NRCC, and will be exhibiting the artists from the Broken Forests.  For more information on the Broken Forest see brokenforests.com
