Intermedia Gallery 2024-25 Call for Submissions

Closing date 13 November 2023

Deadline: Monday 13th November 2023, 2pm (14:00)

Centre for Contemporary Arts Glasgow (CCA) is pleased to announce a new call for Intermedia Gallery proposals. Formally an independent gallery space funded by Glasgow City Council (Glasgow Life) and located on King Street, Glasgow, Intermedia Gallery then found a new home on the top floor in CCA from 2006 onward.

Given the history and importance that Intermedia Gallery has represented to Glasgow-based early career artists since its inception, CCA aims to continue the ethos of the programme. This exhibition opportunity aims to support emerging and reemerging artists, furthering professional and artistic development and to showcase a programme of new and exciting artistic talent in Glasgow.

Intermedia Gallery operates on an open-call process and exists independently of CCA’s curated exhibition programme. Beyond convening the selection committee, it is important to emphasise that CCA maintains a light-touch involvement in the space. This is in contrast to the way we research, develop and curate exhibitions in our ground floor spaces which are not open to proposal.

Applications are welcomed from a wide variety of individuals and groups, and exhibitions will be selected based on criteria of quality of work and creative development. In return, artists take responsibility for organising, curating, installing, de-installing (allowing for specific access needs) and publicising their exhibition, all in line with CCA’s own Health and Safety guidelines.

£1,000 budget per exhibition.
