Call for Artists — Visual Identity for SAT’s 30th Anniversary

To mark its 30th anniversary, the Society for arts and technology [SAT] is launching a call for proposals aimed at visual artists, illustrators, and graphic designers to create a series of original visuals accompanying the anniversary programming: a signature visual embodying the 30th anniversary, as well as visuals for culinary and convivial events and the music program.

For thirty years, SAT has explored the intersections of art, technology, and community, opening spaces for experimentation where artistic forms, immersive experiences, and collective narratives are constantly reimagined. This anniversary is not only a reflection on the path traveled; it is also a springboard toward possible futures,  a moving horizon where creation, innovation, and community converge.

Collaborating with local artists for this visual identity means anchoring SAT’s 30th anniversary in a living, contemporary approach. Montréal’s creativity is an integral part of our history: this celebration also belongs to the artists who have shaped the scene and brought SAT to life for three decades.

This call is primarily addressed to artists based in Montréal or Québec, working individually or collectively. Multiple artists may be selected.

Deadline
You have until March 13 at 5pm to submit your application via the form.
