As the Visual Arts component of Pop Montreal, Art Pop’s purpose is to showcase fun and exciting artists that resonate with the innovative energy of the music festival at large. We program artists and art collectives both emerging and established, from Montreal and beyond. Art Pop 2008 was concerned primarily with exploring the ways in which new interactive technologies and alternative spaces can come together to produce a more integrated visual arts component to the festival.

This year, with a desire for more experimentation and border-crossing, Art Pop (Sept 30 - Oct 4) is focusing on immersive practices, i.e. projects and ideas that fully integrate a sense of immersion and experiential modes of expression. We’re less interested in the media you work in and more interested in how you locate your project and practice within the realms of immersive, encompassing situations.

A good question to keep in mind in presenting your submission is: If you had a room or a space either alone or with a group of artists, what immersive project(s) would you execute?

Artists can apply as individuals, collectives, or with musicians. Visit our website for the full guidelines.
