ITINERANT

Performance Art Festival

November 12 - 21, 2015

QMAD, Queens Media Arts Development, invites artists to submit works for consideration in the upcoming Performance Art Festival, ITINERANT. This year's festival, organized independently by artist Hector Canonge, will take place in local museums, galleries and public sites in the city of New York. ITINERANT 2015 welcomes works and proposals by local, national, and international artists working in Performance Art and its various manifestations. Please note that as an independent artist-run initiative, the festival is not able to pay honorarium, reimburse the cost of travel and/or accommodations or any related expenses, however the festival will give artists unparalleled visibility and exposure by fostering the production and presentation of performance art works in important venues in New York City.

About the festival:

ITINERANT was created in 2010 by artist Hector Canonge. The initiative was a small platform for Contemporary Performance Art, and had its origins in the monthly series A-Lab Forum that Canonge organized at Crossing Art Gallery in Flushing, Queens. Following the growing interest in Live Art, and the need to present performance in the borough, ITINERANT was launched in 2011 under the auspices of QMAD, Queens Media Arts Development. In 2012, ITINERANT was recognized by the City of New York as the first Performance Art festival taking place in the five boroughs (Queens, Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island) that make the metropolitan region. Following the large scale venture in NYC, Canonge journeyed through Europe and Latin America creating, in 2013, the Spanish edition of the festival and calling it Encuentro ITINERANTe, a more fluid version of the festival with public presentations in various cities in the Southern Hemisphere.

ITINERANT 2015 will take place for 10 days in the Fall, from November 12 - 21. Artists considering to apply don't have to specify a particular location, and are not required to participate in all venues. ITINERANT will select and coordinate schedules according to the program's vision and nature of proposed performance(s). Program may vary in the different hosting venues.
