[singhbj singh]

Submission Call-out

This is an open call out for submissions for all Artists, Exhibitors, Presenters, and all others who want to present content (henceforth Contributors) at PAMA for Sikh Heritage Month.

Sikh Heritage Month at PAMA is looking for Contributors to provide content along side the Singh Twins for the month of April. Similar to 2015, PAMA will act as a hub for Sikh Arts, Heritage, and Culture. Our goal is to ensure that our programing engages the diverse communities of not only Brampton but the entire Peel Region. We hope to build bridges and understanding for all through offering accessible programming for all age groups over the course of the month.

Contributors can provide content to attendees at PAMA through the following venues:

Month-long exhibit: one-month feature of a collection of work to be showcased as a fixed exhibition within PAMAs museum space.

One-day exhibit: one-day feature exhibition of a collection of work (art, heritage or other).

Workshop: presentations, panel discussions, etc.

Performance: musical, performing arts, spoken word, martial arts, live art battle, etc.

Tunnel Gallery:Artists can submit their work to be displayed alongside other artists for the Tunnel Gallery group exhibition.

Other: film night, food festival, live sculpting class, etc. Be Creative, we are open to new ideas!!

Please note that Contributors are not limited to one of the above in their application. For example, an artist or community group can apply to have their art displayed in the Tunnel Gallery in addition to holding a one day and full month exhibit and workshop.

How to Apply

Please note that space is limited. Please download and fill out the following documents to have your work reviewed and considered for Sikh Heritage Month 2016:
