Our Selection Processes
Our Selection Processes are in line with those of other artist-run centres, professional galleries, and arts funding agencies.
Calls for submissions
Calls for submissions are reviewed by a jury of professional artists, selected to include a diverse range of experiences and perspectives. Jury members are paid jury fees for their time and expertise. Submissions are graded on a rubric that includes: Artistic Merit, Feasibility, and Impact and then discussed by the jury for final decisions.
First-come, first-served
First-come, first-served opportunities are our lowest barrier of entry offerings, where any project that meets outlined criteria and is within our capacity is accepted. This allows for a larger group of artists to participate together.
Curated projects
Curated projects are selected by TTIS staff, a curatorial/programming committee, or a contracted professional curator.
