10TH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL
Devel op and pres ent y o ur a r t in a
c u rated outburst.
On Saturday 14 March 2020, a site-specific arts festival in Canberra will explode with diverse
artistic disciplines in a spectrum of traditional to unexpected locations. This will be the festival’s
10th anniversary.
Locals artists remain a focus – over 50% of funding will go to Canberra region artists – but curation
will lean towards works responding to the festival provocation. The festival strives to raise better
awareness of local artists, Canberra’s identity and the unsustainable practices that threaten our
culture whilst celebrating the beauty of humanity.
Exceptional indoor and outdoor spaces throughout NewActon, The Shine Dome and National Film
and Sound Archives will present projects of passion and exploration – curated from applications
received by 14 November 2019. The festival gathers diverse creatives who make music, film, visual
art, street art, adventurous performances or something new.
You can apply for program inclusion, funding, curatorial advice, production support or the whole
lot. Collectives are welcome to host their own event or apply with a project. Projects requiring
extensive media campaigns are welcome and communications support is available. Funding over
$1,000 is competitive and requires a powerful advancement of the theme – either request less by
leveraging other resources or make it really sing.
There are no commissions on sales made by artists unless you choose to offer them for sale through
our website or in Nishi Gallery. All artists receive social media support and a webpage documenting
both their practice and project.
Applicants are encouraged to have a coffee with a festival team member before applying.
You’re also welcome to email questions in advance to curator@artnotapart.com. Just check the
Information for Artists and Artists FAQ pages on the website first.

Today, how are you? Put meaning back into this existential question. Are you
happy, anxious or tired of narcissism? Create an intimate memory of now.

Or, where should we be tomorrow? In a new dawn, what do you hope others will feel?
Depict your future with more love.

Value and behavioural changes required for the world to operate within safe
planetary boundaries cannot simply be achieved through policy and science: the arts
are key to exploring the human impact of scientific advances, and culture is the place
of their mass acceptance or failure.
Creatives are encouraged to make work that advances the work of Australian
scientists in today’s culture. Specialists can be made available to creatives with
compelling ideas for consultation or collaboration on any of the following themes.
» » Averting the many drivers of climate change (try to be specific)
» » Cultural awareness and new issues of gene technology
» » Data capture informing advanced manufacturing
» » Data visualisation to change cultural behaviour
» » Preparing people for ‘good’ automation, and questioning its ‘bad’ applications
» » The hidden links between scientific and artistic perspectives
» » “Probing the past, constructing the future” using rock, sediment and ice cores
» » Stimulate new thinking from biomimicry (the specific term, not the general idea)
» » The precarious balance of Earth’s massive biodiversity
» » Creative perspectives of string theory (the specific term)
Other ideas outside of this list may also be linkable to contemporary research.

We pay artists commensurate to their time and financial outcomes. For example,
if you’re planning to spend a week developing something that can’t be sold, apply
for that week’s fee based on the relevant award (MEAA, NAVA etc). And if you’re
painting works to sell or keep, applying for money is less appropriate than requesting
curatorial and promotional support to sell you well. If your project is complex, talk to
the festival team before the close of applications to discuss funding opportunities.

Feel free to email curator@artnotapart.com with questions about your project or
ideas before submitting to the festival – and remember, early submissions are
encouraged (we’ll most likely be responding to those ones first!).
The festival will hold a Call For Projects Workshop on the 20th October 2019 in
Makeshift, NewActon. This will be an opportunity to chat with the festival team, ask
questions about the application process, and stimulate creativity with other artists.
All applicants will receive a response by late November. This allows roughly
four months to prepare.
A festival curator will meet in person or, if not possible, chat over the phone with
all successful applicants. They will be your first point of contact for curatorial or
logistical details. Production, installation, compliance and marketing managers are
also available to present your project in the best way possible.
