PAMA is seeking proposals from artists, creators and makers for an upcoming museum exhibition entitled Stories of Home. Creators will be commissioned by PAMA to create interpretations of what “home” looks like, feels like, or means to them.
Proposals for both representational and non-representational interpretations of this prompt are encouraged. We are open to proposals for all mediums, as long as the work is 3-dimensional and fits within a 11.5x11.5x11.5 inch acrylic box (supplied by PAMA). Mediums may include, but are not limited to: metal, plastic, wood, paper, textile, fibre, ceramic, glass, upcycled materials and mixed media. The selected works will be interspersed and integrated within a section of the larger Stories of Home exhibition.
If your proposal is selected, the completed piece must be delivered to PAMA by February 26, 2024. Please keep this timeline in mind when preparing your proposal. Selected applicants will receive a deposit upon contract signing and the remainder of payment upon completion. Note: This is not a loan; PAMA will be purchasing the artwork outright.
Submission Guidelines:
Submission Deadline: December 15, 2023.
Notification Date: December 22, 2023.
