Time Will Tell – Public Performance Series
These four performance based-works respond to the current context of Halifax’s North End by engaging with the physical environment and social history of this neighborhood. Performances will happen at various locations and times throughout the day.

Eyelevel Gallery requests submissions for Time Will Tell, a series of five public performance-based works to take place in conjunction with the fourth annual Go North! Studio and Gallery Tour on September 12, 2009.

We are seeking public performance-based work responding to the current context of Halifax’s North End by engaging with the physical environment and social history of this neighbourhood. Local emerging artists, established artists and students are encouraged to apply.

Selected artists will be paid an artist fee of $500 for their project and a $100.00 material fee. Funding for these projects from the HRM was only recently confirmed, so artists are encouraged to propose works that are already in progress or that respond with spontaneity to the short time-frame of this call for submissions.
