Agnieszka Matejko sent us this request for qualifications on behalf of Boyle Street Community Services:

Boyle Street Community Services is inviting visual artists in the Edmonton area to submit a proposal to become the inner-city agency’s next Artist-in-Residence. The successful artist will commence duties in January 2012 for a six-month period.

The Artist in Residence will develop a body of work in studio at Boyle Street while interacting with community members to mentor and build their talents. The artist will ideally reflect their experience at the agency in their own work and participate in a public showing of artwork produced by the artist and community members during the artist’s tenure.

If you are an artist interested in community participation and outreach, working with people facing poverty and marginalization, and looking for an opportunity this winter and spring, check out the call at boylestreet.org.
