Dazibao is an artist-run centre dedicated to the dissemination of contemporary photography. Through exhibitions and publications Dazibao supports artistic practices and theoretical reflections that offer innovative approaches to photography or that propose fresh links with other disciplines. The centre serves as a launching pad for young artists, and as an ideal place for more established artists to initiate and disseminate new projects. Dazibao welcomes artists from Montréal, from elsewhere in Canada and from around the world.

Dazibao's programming is established by combining the submissions received as part of the call for proposals and/or from the initiatives of the board. Please submit only once a year.
