RECURRING PROGRAMS:
HEAT WAVES:
A group residency for local early-emerging artists (priority given to artists who have limited professional opportunities and face systemic barriers to accessing professional opportunities in the arts). HEAT WAVES takes place every July, with a call for submissions released in the spring.
...
Eyelevel Reshelving Initiative (ERI):
ERI is a biannual printed matter and multiples exhibition featuring member works. It is unjuried. Every 2 years a call for submissions goes out with a theme that members are welcome to respond to. Our next ERI is scheduled for October, 2025 and a call will be released in late summer.
...
Writer In-Residence:
This program is funding-dependent and runs year-round, with each resident writer doing a 6-month residency. We are hoping to restart this program in November, 2025 with a call for submissions to be released in late summer.
...
Spring Artist In-Residence (Spring AIR):
Each April, we host a single artist in-residence. This spot is often filled by invitation only, where Eyelevel's programming committee selects an artist based on our interest in their practice. This program features artists who are emerging to mid-career and have a specific project or line of research in mind. When funding allows, Eyelevel will replace our Sping AIR with a thematic group residency. If a call for submissions for either a single Spring AIR or group residency is released, it will be in the winter for the following April.

Special Projects:
Eyelevel endeavours to do one to two special projects per year. These are presentation projects which take place in other gallery spaces, one-night events, performance series, workshop series, speaking series, outdoor/offsite exhibitions, artist books, or thematic residencies. These projects are developed by our Programming Committee 12+ months in advance, and will have their own call for submissions once project funding is secured.
We have a very limited capacity to consider unsolicited proposals from other artist-run centres, curators, galleries and artist groups. Those wishing to submit unsolicited proposals should consider Eyelevel's mandate: how their proposed idea aligns with the context of socially engaged, gallery-less programming and furthers the practices of underserved and misrepresented artists as well as funding and Eyelevel's capacity as a small artist-run centre.
