Press: blogTO Gallery Profile
Thanks to blogTO for putting together a gallery profile after a recent visit. Here's the beginning:
"Snowball Gallery & Workshop sits unassumingly at 1690 Queen Street West, on the edge of Parkdale and at the foot of Roncesvalles. Even from the outside, the gallery is far from intimidating, which has a lot to do with its director and founder, Alison Snowball. Alison is laid back, friendly and open -- and she's also a former stock trader who worked in the Financial District before opening up Snowball Gallery & Workshop. ..." [read more]

SNOWBALL GALLERY
& WORKSHOP
Well, that'll have to do for now. With May already doing its best impression of summer, conditions have Toronto at once speeding into a month of full contact, yet slowing down enough to avoid breaking a sweat. What to do with our contradictory selves? An unanswerable question, but it does bring me to our next show, opening two short days from now:

Call for Submissions: ABC: Anything But Canvas
ABC: ANYTHING BUT CANVAS
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
DEADLINE MAY 30, 2010
ABC: ANYTHING BUT CANVAS is a group painting show on any material other than canvas. To this end, two or three dimensional works are encouraged and open for consideration.
The word canvas has its early roots in the Greek kannabis or 'made of hemp', as the material was originally. Now, it is woven generally of cotton or linen. Canvas has been long valued for its durability yet flexibility, strong enough for a circus tent yet soft enough for a sail. It came into use as a painting surface in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries, marking a shift away from the then common medium of wood panels. In the process, paintings became portable and separate from their surroundings, objets in and of themselves.
ABC: ANYTHING BUT CANVAS acknowledges the important role of canvas in the development of painting, but questions what its legacy is now and will be. Is it a unique, material offering or a transcendant, metaphysical one? Or perhaps something else entirely.
We are looking for existing paintings and/or installations that respond to these ideas.
Exhibition details:
July 8 through 25, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, July 8, 7-11 PM
Installation: July 5 through 7
Submission Requirements:
+ Contact info: name, email address and phone number
+ CV and/or bio
+ Project description incl. dimensions, medium, any installation/technical requirements
+ A photo of the work[s] you are proposing for the show [max. 2 MB]
Please send your digital submissions to: info@snowballgallery.com
All submissions are due by May 30, 2010.
All applicants will be contacted by email regarding their submission by June 6, 2010.
