In between the uninstall and install of our regular exhibitions the main gallery usually has a night or two of being an empty shell. We thought we’d invite people to put their pearls in it for one night only.

aceartinc.’s turnaround is a series of events/ performances/ installations that occur on a single night between the uninstall and install of regular exhibitions in the gallery. Operating on a fly-by-night ethos, turnaround enables performers to take advantage of a large space to experiment with and test ideas. Preference is given to projects which are innovative, mischievous, passionate and enthusiastic. It is an opportunity for community building between various artists and audiences in Winnipeg.

turnarounders put on a nocturnal performance or throw a party etc. in the main gallery of ace. ace will not pay any fees to the participants but instead asks them to charge admission, half of which is kept by them, the other half goes to ace as fundraising for our programming and operational costs.

aceartinc.’s turnaround is not an exhibition opportunity. Submissions for exhibitions will not be accepted.

To apply for a turnaround spot, email program AT aceart DOT org with your idea and how you’ll do it- no more than a page please. Include your resume with at least but no more than five images to support your application.
