Thank you to all our 2020 applicants!
Update from the organizing committee:
At this time our festival events scheduled for The Roundhouse on August 7-9 have been cancelled due to the ongoing closure of that community centre. VOAF 2020 is being re-visioned to meet the needs of participating artists, given the evolving public health context. We are committed to offering relevant and needed programming that builds the capacity of the outsider artists community and brings their work to a wider public. This year our focus will be online offerings, with the possibility of a smaller in-person event.
We are planning a workshop series focused on supporting artists to get their work and their stories online, leading to a livestream festival launch and online exhibition in late 2020! We’ll get the word out here, in our newsletter, and via social media as plans are confirmed.
