Media Arts Collection Research Study
Request for Proposals: Deadline August 31st, 4PM.
Project budget: $12,000

In partnership, the Alberta Media Arts Alliance Society (AMAAS), Metro Cinema Society and the Calgary Cinematheque Society are commissioning a report to provide recommendations on how to best include and recognize media art as part of Alberta's cultural heritage.  For example, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts (AFA) currently collects, manages, and provides access to the AFA art collection, which represents the talents of more than 1,700 Alberta visual artists.  AMAAS believes the art of practicing Alberta media artists should be acquired as well.

The Media Arts Collection Research Study will determine what the current state of Alberta media art collection is and what the best practices are in archiving and collecting media artwork.  The report will also focus on the role of the Province of Alberta and the Alberta Foundation for the Arts in how they can best acquire, preserve and exhibit works of media art for future generations of Albertans.
