The Artist Project Contemporary Art Fair and The Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers are excited to announce the return of the Artist Project Career Launcher for an upper year student or recent graduate of the Integrated Media, Digital Futures, Sculpture/Installation or Interdisciplinary Master’s in Art, Media and Design programs. Students and recent alumni are invited to apply for this paid opportunity which provides a professional venue and large public audience for their work. The successful applicant will participate in the 15th annual Artist Project Contemporary Art Fair; held at the Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place, April 13 - 16, 2023.
The Show Director will select a successful applicant and The Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers will provide a $2,100 production/artist fee grant towards the realization of this outstanding opportunity.
Tips for a successful application:
