Incorporated in 1982, Artcite Inc is a non-profit, registered charitable artist-run centre (member of the Canadian Artist-Run Network [ARN] and Artist-Ru
n Centres & Collectives Ontario [ARCCO]). Windsor's only artist-run centre dedicated exclusively to the presentation and promotion of contemporary and experimental art forms, Artcite Inc maintains a balanced and diverse program of visual art exhibitions and events, including: performance, film and video screenings, artist's lectures and workshops, and presentations of experimental music and interdisciplinary art production. The organization is directed by a volunteer Board, staff and voting members, the majority of whom are working artists of various disciplines. Artcite Inc has been a focal point of the arts community since we opened our doors in 1982. The only gallery in Windsor committed solely to the presentation of contemporary artforms, Artcite Inc fills a need within the community that speaks of its accessibility and value to the public at large. Currently located in the Capitol Theatre and Arts Centre in Windsor's burgeoning downtown core, Artcite strives to present new and experimental art and exhibitions that are politically and socially engaged; changing monthly exhibits in the gallery space showcase a variety of local, regional, national and international artists. During our 29 years of operations, Artcite has featured diverse emerging and reknowned visual artists, collectives, performers, critics & curators such as Monty Cantsin, NYC's Naked Eye Cinema, Jim Shaw, Peter Greyson, Jamelie Hassan, John Scott, Kiki Smith, Claus Oldenberg, Donna Ferrato, Kurt Kren, Edward Poitras, Allen Belcher, Eugene Chadbourne, Robin Rimbaud a.k.a. Artcite benefits its members & the community at large by offering information and equipment resources crucial to producing art in today's society. Our staff is available to assist by providing current grant information as well as exhibition information, and other artistic opportunities in the region & beyond.
