Circa art actuel

Mission/mandate/about the organisation

CIRCA art actuel is an artist-run center that supports experimentation and innovation. Its mission? To present the work of contemporary artists of all generations who place the sculptural object at the heart of their practice. The Center supports projects that are rooted in the spirit of traditional sculptural practice as well as those that develop hybrid sculptural and installation forms, emerging from an engagement with other media such as drawing, printmaking, photography, digital art, or painting. All of this reflects a strong commitment to supporting and developing sculptural and installation practices, in a spirit of openness and renewal.

Areas of interest that can be explored through the internship

Depending on the intern’s expectations and the timing of the internship, the internship may focus on various areas related to the promotion of contemporary art. Here are a few examples:

The internship project may involve:

• Assisting with the organization of a benefit exhibition for the Artists’ Center, in collaboration with the existing staff;
• Cultural mediation and the development of visitor support programs in the galleries, or the creation of a short cultural mediation program;
• Logistical support for the Pauline-Desautels Prize.
• Tasks will therefore be varied, encompassing communication, coordination, setup and takedown, research, and writing, among others.

Objectives:

• Become familiar with museum-related tasks within the context of an artists’ center.
• Acquire skills in cultural project management.
• Refine research skills in the context of presenting artistic projects.
• Apply theories related to exhibitions and the organization of related activities.
