Introduction

SAW Video’s Knot Project Space accepts proposals once a year through an online submissions process, the results of which contribute to our yearly programming schedule. We seek artists, collectives or curators engaged with media art practices who present their work through installation or performance contexts. Applicants may submit preexisting works, or propose projects that they wish to create and execute specifically for our space.

Opened in January 2018, Knot Project Space is a purpose-built venue that is uniquely configured to accommodate a wide range of presentation strategies in the media arts. We encourage artists to be experimental and adventurous in their approach, and to propose projects that would make use of the potential of our space. Artists of all experience levels are encouraged to apply, as are those from diverse backgrounds.

To apply, please complete the application before our deadline of August 6^th, 2018.
