CALL FOR SPONSORSHIPS

PROPAGANDA SWAG JAG

A Swagtacular Sponsorship Opportunity!

Propaganda: Art-Made Grenade is an arts incubator that explores the hidden and potentially explosive intentions found within artist-run culture. As part of Propaganda, White Water Gallery will host a Zine and Multiples Fair on July 19^th & 20^th to bring amazing artwork and artists to engage with the local community of North Bay, Ontario.

CALL FOR SPONSORSHIPS: Would you like to sponsor a crazy-awesome arts event? How about receiving an autographed picture of an obscure Canadian arts administrator? Or maybe you just want to make the world a better place by celebrating art? You can do all these things and more by sponsoring our PROPAGANDA SWAG JAG!

Here’s how: Take a bunch of swag from your office and mail it to us. This can include, but is not limited to: buttons, pens, tote bags, old magazines, catalogues, brochures, business cards, paperclips, postcards, ID badges, passports, guitar picks, magnets or any other swag-like arts articles that you’ve got laying around. WARNING: DO NOT PUT LIVE ANIMALS IN THE MAIL!

All contributing groups will be recognized for their support in two ways:

1)       They will receive an exclusive autographed photo of a White Water Gallery staff member in the mail.

2)       Their organization will be formally recognized in all PROPAGANDA advertising online and in print.

Why swag? Because it’s fun! All swag submissions will be displayed on-site during the Zine and Multiples Fair at a “free advice” trading post. Swag will be bargained in exchange for conversations about the changes in our community and/or industry. Creating arts dialogues on a local, regional, and national level is vital to keeping arts and culture alive, and your donation can help us find the cure make great things happen!

White Water Gallery would like to announce our new summer incubator “Propaganda: Art-Made Grenade” which focuses on providing professional development and collaborative art creation opportunities starting June 4^th and going until July 20^th. Events taking place as part of the incubator include but are not limited to: Artist-Talks, Workshops, Lectures, Panel Discussions and Community Arts Projects. These events will focus primarily on ZINE and Multiples culture with emphasis given to community exchanges and non-conventional ways of disseminating artistic practices. On July 19^th & 20^th a ZINE/Multiples fair will take place at WWG as a way to offer additional opportunities for the public to engage with art.

As with many WWG programs, “Propaganda: Art-Made Grenade” represents a metaphor within artist culture alluding to hidden and potentially explosive knowledge found within creations. Our goal with this program is to bring artists and art together in a series of free and “pay-to-play” events that engage with the local community of North Bay, Ontario and online through our website. For more information please look at our call for submissions page.

Confirmed Participants: Adam Beanish, Laura Little, Peter Sloan & Clayton Windatt.

White Water Gallery is partnering with When Will You Rage? as a cross-over between several existing projects including our work with Ruth Howard. During the week of “February 25th – March 2nd” Ruth Howard, Artistic Director of Jumblies Theatre, will be leading a series of community arts events as part of a partnership between the North Bay Public Library, Aanmitaagzi and the White Water Gallery. Ruth received funding for this activity through the Ontario Arts Council’s “Artists in the Community/Workplace” grant which allows her to be in North Bay this week as well as a three week final phase this coming September. Ruth is utilizing this time to work with the community as part of When Will You Rage?.

Choreographer and Dancer Penny Couchie, from Nipissing First Nation, will present her latest work, When Will You Rage?, in partnership with Nipissing’s unique multi-disciplinary arts organization Aanmitaagzi at the Capitol Centre in North Bay on March 9, 2013 at 7:30pm. This presentation marks Couchie’s first independently created full-length performance and is the first professional contemporary dance/theatre piece to be produced in Nipissing First Nation.

Tickets cost $20 / $10 and can be purchased at the Capitol Centre Box Office located at 150 Main St E, North Bay, ON in person or by phone (705-474-4747) during regular business hours (Monday through Friday – 11am to 5pm, Saturdays – 12pm to 4pm). They can also be purchased online by visiting www.capitolcentre.org.
