Call for Submissions: Corgi Zine
Oh my God, there is a zine focused entirely on Corgis. This is a thing that exists in the world. AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SUBMISSIONS! What to do? Should I share my cross-stitch rendering of a Corgi as Kanye West? Do I dare share my beloved doodles of Corgi angst comics? The sky is truly the limit according to the submissions requirements – they simply must be “corgi-like” in order to be accepted. The deadline for submissions is July 31, not that this matters, because I know you’ve already slid your corgi etchings into an envelope and mailed them to this wonderful publication for perusal. We strongly encourage you to visit this zine’s website here for more info.

Call for Submissions: Ruckus Readings
Ruckus Readings is a brand-new reading/music series in Toronto that seeks performers who mix things up – i.e., people who do shit besides stand at a microphone and read. Audience participation, noise, props, games, chants and other elements of creative performativity are welcome and highly encouraged. They accept submissions from musicians too. Submissions are ongoing. For more information about criteria and info about the next event, visit their website.

Call for Proposals: The Curatorial Incubator
Vtape is looking for artists to participate in v.11 of their Curatorial Incubator: Stop with the performance already! program. Basically, this program will teach you how to be an art curator and explore your ideas in a workshop setting.
From Vtape’s own words: “Participants will have an opportunity to hone their curatorial skills in the media arts in a number of important ways: attending specialized workshops conducted by arts professionals; conducting independent research using the rich resources available through Vtape; writing a curatorial essay for their program of selected titles, with invaluable editorial assistance provided by an arts professional; and, finally, presenting their curated program to the public.”
So great! Deadline is July 12. For more info see this online posting.
