PUBLISHING / EXHIBITION ASSISTANCE:

The Centre for Modern Initiatives provides technical, advisory, and financial assistance depending on the determined need of the proposed project. Funding may come directly from CMI’s charitable organization or may be redirected from one of many CMI’s partners.

CMI’s advisory assistance draws from a pool of creative individuals and organizations. Depending on the need CMI will use the appropriate resources in order to help fully realize the proposed project. Technical assistance in the form of web-based media, physical design, print based media, physical construction, editing, legal council, and more is offered depending on the nature of the proposed project.

The Centre for Modern Initiatives is currently accepting publishing and exhibition based proposals. Proposals must creatively engage ideas of social construction. Topics may range from physical design to social welfare.

Projects may include but are not limited to:

publication of a text
exhibition of a series
collaboration
documentation

Projects do not need to be in a finished state but must be well considered.

Eligibility: Open call to all Canadian citizens. Individuals and groups may apply.

Proposals must include:

Full name, address, email, and phone number of each applicant.
