Call for Artists: Supercrawl 2019
Hamilton, ON, Sept 13-15, 2019
Submission Deadline: February 22, 2019

Supercrawl is a free annual outdoor art and music festival in downtown Hamilton, Ontario. The festival's Visual Art Committee invites artists working in a wide range of creative disciplines to propose works for installation as part of this year's event, taking place September 13-15, 2019. Proposals should create creative, compelling and unique environments and experiences for festival-goers. Projects by local, regional, national and international artists are selected based on artistic merit, originality, and ability to integrate within the festival's scale, spirit and energy. The festival has showcased works in a variety of media, including projects by Dean Drever, Zeke Moores, Sean Martindale, BGL, Kelly Mark, Kim Adams, Sonny Assu, Max Streicher, Susy Oliveira, Jaime Angelopoulos, José Luis Torres, Shelley Niro, and many others. 

Supercrawl is interested in seeking proposals in the following areas: Identification of distinct Art Zone (i.e.: entryways, banners, etc.); Installation art; Sculpture; Performance art; and Public interventions. Proposals must consider public safety and visibility, and the piece must be able to be safely performed or executed outdoors with large crowds present at all hours and weather conditions, and will remain impactful during both the daytime and night-time hours of the festival. Supercrawl is open to creatively diverse contemporary visual art pieces that have large-scale visual impact, respond to the streetscape of the event and enhance the overall Supercrawl experience.
