CAMP WAVELENGTH is a new, intimate, boutique festival launching on Toronto Island the final weekend of August, 2015. Presented by Wavelength Music, Toronto’s non-profit, DIY community hub, CAMP WAVELENGTH is seeking the best independent music and the arts from Canada and the world.

The curatorial theme of the inaugural edition of CAMP WAVELENGTH is “Another World.” Audiences are invited to camp out with Wavelength and escape the city for one last summer hurrah – to become an Islander for a weekend and immerse themselves in the distinct culture of the Island, the other world on Toronto’s doorstep.

Artists are encouraged to respond to this theme of transport, immersion and discovery in whatever ways they can imagine.

We are seeking submissions from artists in the following disciplines:
• MUSIC
• VISUAL & MEDIA ARTS
• DANCE & PERFORMANCE
• GAMES & ACTIVITIES

To submit your proposal, please send the following via EMAIL tocontact@wavelengthtoronto.com. Please include the words “CAMP WAVELENGTH SUBMISSION” and the project title in the subject line.

Please do NOT send attachments or EPKs. And please do not send submissions via social media!!

Preference will be given to special collaborations of an imaginative, interdisciplinary nature.

All submissions will be listened to, evaluated, and responded to, but due to limited space, not all submissions will be accepted. All programming decisions are final. Notifications of results will be sent out no later than May 12.

All accepted artists will be paid an artist fee and receive passes to the festival.

** Camp Wavelength takes place at Artscape Gibraltar Point, the unique artist retreat centre on Toronto Island that was the location of the beloved ALL CAPS! Island Festival, which Wavelength co-presented from 2009-13. The inaugural edition of Camp Wavelength is dedicated to ALL CAPS! founder, Ryan McLaren, and his inspirational fight against cancer.
