Emerging and experienced photographers are encouraged to register their Open Call Exhibition in the 29th edition of CONTACT, taking place May 1–31, 2025.
The Festival’s Open Call Exhibitions embody a broad range of lens-based practices, and bring together the photographic community with innovative presentations at galleries and alternative spaces across the Greater Toronto Area.
Unlike the Core Program, which is produced in collaboration with major museums, leading galleries, and artist-run centres, the Open Call Exhibition program is artist-organized and produced.
Who can participate?
Lens-based artists at any career or hobby level are encouraged to register. This program is non-juried and CONTACT does not review submissions. If you register your fully organized exhibition by the deadline, you will be part of the Festival.
Where can I hold my exhibition?
Any venue accessible to the public in the Greater Toronto Area, including outdoor spaces and storefront windows, is eligible as an Open Call Exhibition. Artist and organizers must secure a venue in which to hold the exhibition and are responsible for all aspects of production.
What is the deadline?
Register by January 20, 2025.
What is the cost of registration?
Registration is free!
Will CONTACT facilitate or produce my exhibition?
No, artists and organizers are responsible for all aspects of the exhibition’s production and presentation.
