Being artists, we recognise the value of establishing direct connections between artists and collectors.  ABOUT US We are an artist-led, self-funded, and independent cultural centre located in the prestigious Vila Mariana neighbourhood of Sao Paulo, Brazil. We work tirelessly to create opportunities for artists from around the world. Since our first exhibition in 2019, we have proudly showcased the works of over 800 artists from more than 78 countries.  We believe in fostering artistic diversity and providing a platform for emerging and established artists to express their creativity.  Join us on our journey as we continue to celebrate art in all its forms and connect global artistic communities.

The files must be cropped 30 x 40 cm (11.81 x 15.75 inches) or square size 30 x 30 cm (11.81 x 11.81 inches) and sent via email when requested. There will be a picture of every individual work on the wall and pictures of people visiting the exhibition. Also, there will be an Artfacts listing. So, there will be plenty of documentation of your participation. Only artists residing in São Paulo, Brazil, are eligible to exhibit their original artworks. They must personally deliver their artwork to the gallery one week prior to the start of the exhibition and sign a consignment agreement. Furthermore, they must arrange for the collection of their artwork at the conclusion of the exhibition. Some future exhibitions will be only for artists that we have already worked with and their prints are in our storage. If the artist prefers not to keep it in our storage, we can destroy it. We tried that in the past and it didn't work out. International postal service from Brazil to overseas is expensive (around £50) and unreliable. It tracks only inside the country. So we are not offering that option anymore. If you would like to have a fine art print of your work, we recommend The Printspace in London. They have good prices, and they ship internationally. The artworks are allocated based on style, orientation, technical specifications, colours, etc. The curator carefully plans the placement of each work to ensure consistency throughout the show. Please note that the decisions are final and not open for discussion. As a cultural centre, our role differs from that of a commercial gallery; hence, we abstain from participating in the sales process between artists and collectors.

Strong applications demonstrate why the residency requires time in Paris, how the partner organization will actively support the work, and how the proposed research can benefit from sustained engagement with local artistic communities. Contemporary Performance Network members receive detailed Strategy Coach Notes that examine the evaluation criteria, application materials, reviewer priorities, and practical strategies for building a stronger submission. About the Paris Artist Residency The Institut français x Cité internationale des arts Residency Program is one of France’s largest international artist mobility programs. Each year it brings nearly seventy artists and cultural professionals from around the world to Paris to develop research and creative projects across disciplines including theatre, dance, performance, visual arts, music, literature, cinema, architecture, design, digital creation, photography, fashion, gastronomy, criticism, curating, crafts, circus arts, puppetry, and urban planning. Residents are based at the historic Marais site of Cité internationale des arts, where private furnished studios are combined with access to professional artistic facilities and an international community of practitioners. The program is administered by Institut français in partnership with Cité internationale des arts and supported by the French Ministry of Culture and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs. What Is Offered - Furnished private live-work studio at Cité internationale des arts in the Marais district of Paris. - Minimum residency grant of €1,100 per month, paid directly by the partner organization. - International travel costs funded by the partner organization. - Health, repatriation, and civil liability insurance funded by the partner organization. - Visa fees funded by the partner organization where applicable. - Access to an auditorium. - Access to three exhibition spaces. - Access to eight rehearsal studios. - Access to shared printmaking, screen-printing, and ceramics workshops. - Opportunity to participate in one of France’s largest international artist residency programs, supporting nearly seventy residents annually across all artistic disciplines.

ÖRES

ÖRES Open Call 2027 Deadline: 09 Oct 2026 Country: Finland ÖRES offers artists and researchers a chance to work in a unique natural environment in Finland. The facilities are located in Örö, a former military fortress island in the Archipelago National Park. The artists-run programme focuses on new and experimental fields of art, art-science collaborations and interdisciplinary projects. Duration of residency One or two months. Accommodation Our residency house has two apartments for the artists. One apartment can accommodate 1-4 adults or a small family comfortably. We provide the artist either a private apartment or a private room in a shared apartment. This is negotiated on a case-by-case basis depending on availability, the artists’ wishes and whether they arrive solo or with a family, partner or a peer. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Our main focus is visual artists working in media, video, sound and bio art, as well as other experimental fields of art and art-science collaborations. Writers, dancers and curators are also welcome to apply. We also encourage researchers in humanistic and social sciences with critical and interdisciplinary approaches to apply. In addition to individuals, any organizations in the fields of art, culture and research are also welcome to apply with their projects. Due to the remote location of the island and the solitude of the winter months, the residency programme is retreat-like and works on a self-service basis. The residency is mostly run remotely. Our live-work spaces are equipped mostly for “office” type of work. Displays, projectors and audio equipment are provided for video and sound artists. The spaces can also be used for small-scale sculpture, painting and prototyping work as long as the artist takes care of protecting the surfaces. Basic woodworking and other hand tools are provided.Studio / Workspace The rooms function as a combined work and living space. Both apartments have two rooms and a kitchen, so when artist has the whole apartment, the other room can be dedicated as a studio. Upon request, temporary extra working space, suitable for rough/messy work, may be arranged in the nearby buildings.Fees and support No fees. The residency is free of charge. We are not able to cover your travel costs, materials, food or other daily expenses. However we can provide letters of invitation upon request to help you apply funding. A deposit of 100 euros is required from the selected artists. The deposit will be returned after the residency when we have received an online report from the artist. Expectations towards the artist We do not expect the artist to produce finished works during the residency period. The residency may be used as a catalyst for further work or to concentrate in some vital phase in the artists’ ongoing projects. After the residency period the artists are required to complete a short report of their experience. We are also offering the artists an option to participate in our summer exhibition and other exhibition opportunities we might arrange. Application information The application process is completed by submitting the application form online. The required documents are a Work Plan, CV and a portfolio/work samples, all combined into a single PDF file, uploaded with the form. The size of the file should not exceed 10MB. Please note that we are not able to accept applications outside the Open Call, nor any applications sent to us without the online form or ones that lack the required documents. The selection results will be published in the beginning of November 2026. All applicants will be informed by e-mail. Further instructions are on our Apply page.

Food: Ritual and Identity Entry Deadline: Oct 9, 2026, 11:59:00 PM Eligibility: International Entry Fee: 10.00 British Columbia Food: Ritual & Identity Welcome to Food Deadline for entries: October 9, 2026, at midnight This show will run from Friday, October 23, to Sunday, Dece… Deadline for entries: October 9, 2026, at midnight This show will run from Friday, October 23, to Sunday, December 20, 2026 Please read our submission guidelines carefully at https://metchosinartpod.ca/sub... as they cover important information.  This open call invites artists to explore the topic of Food in its many forms, whether literal or figurative. Food is never just food. It is material, metaphor, ritual, and resource. It feeds not only bodies, but identities, cultures, economies, and memories. We invite artists to submit works in various media that explore the layered theme of Food. From harvest to hunger, feast to waste, we are seeking work that examines the complex role food plays in shaping our relationships with ourselves, society, and the systems that sustain or exploit us. Whether a symbol of celebration or scarcity, food is deeply personal, political, ecological, and sensual. This is a call to artists to trace the visible and invisible systems that feed us, and to ask: What does it mean to be nourished in a time of both abundance and imbalance? All media are welcome, including painting, drawing, sculpture, mixed media, installation and audio-visual submissions. We look forward to seeing how you weave your story into this exhibition! We welcome works in all mediums. All work will be juried by an independent juror: Janice Beaudoin The Juror of the exhibition will only see your image, your medium, and your artist statement. You will have 1000 words to create an artist statement that situates the work submitted with your artist practice and the theme of the show. You must spend some time composing it, as the juror will use it in considering how the work relates to the theme and understanding the nature of the work.

Applicants submit work samples, a statement of interest, descriptions of two recent projects or bodies of work, a résumé or CV, website and Instagram information, and ranked session preferences. The statement specifically asks applicants to address why Djerassi, how the residency will affect their work, and why this is a pivotal moment in their career. Join the Contemporary Performance network to access the Strategy Coach Notes, where we break down the selection criteria, application structure, work-sample strategy, and how to position your practice for this specific residency. About the Djerassi Artist Residency The Djerassi Resident Artists Program has supported artists for more than four decades and reports that more than 2,700 writers, visual and media artists, composers, choreographers, filmmakers, and scientists have participated. Its 583-acre property provides a retreat environment centered on uninterrupted working time. For 2027, Djerassi anticipates accommodating approximately 40 to 45 new artists across five residency sessions. The standard Artist Cohorts include writers, visual artists, composers, choreographers, and media artists. Applicants choose the category that best represents their primary practice and may apply in only one category during the application cycle. Artists whose practices span several fields can identify that within their materials. Media Arts / New Genres specifically includes film, video, sound, performance, experimental theater, and interdisciplinary or technology-driven work. What Is Offered - A private live/work studio with bed, linens, and workspace suited to the artist’s discipline - Chef-prepared dinners on weeknights - Kitchens stocked for breakfasts, lunches, and weekends - Laundry facilities on site - Access to 583 acres of trails, redwoods, and site-specific sculptures - A small cross-disciplinary community of residents - SFO airport pickup and return - Local transportation during the residency - A full month of uninterrupted time for creative work Artists must pay their own travel costs to the Bay Area.

Degree-seeking students may apply. The program’s 2027 materials state that applicants must be age 21 or older and able to speak English fluently. Application materials must be submitted in English.

Why The Djerassi Artist Residency Matters Djerassi provides a specific resource that can be difficult for independent artists to secure: a full month of dedicated working time with housing, workspace, meals, and local transportation covered by the program. The residency does not require applicants to propose a completed production. The application instead asks artists to establish the strength of their existing practice, their readiness to use the residency period, and the potential impact of that time on their work. Those priorities are stated directly in Djerassi’s selection criteria. For performance, experimental theater, choreography, and interdisciplinary artists, the application categories explicitly accommodate these practices. The principal artist expense is travel to the Bay Area, in addition to the $35 application fee.

Deadline: 09/10/2026 City: Kamnik | Country: Slovenia | 13 b Call for entries! 13b is looking for photography submissions for their international exhibition ‘Shifting Ground’. This is a great opportunity to expand your network and get greater exposure by exhibiting your work in front of an international audience. More details Shifting Ground: International Environmental Photography Open Call Deadline: 09/10/2026City: Kamnik | Country: Slovenia | 13 b Call for entries! 13b is looking for photography submissions for their international exhibition ‘Shifting Ground’. This is a great opportunity to expand your network and get greater exposure by exhibiting your work in front of an international audience. 13b is proud to present ‘Shifting Ground’, a group environmental photography exhibition which will examine a planet in flux as the boundary between the wild and the built world rapidly dissolves. Arriving on the heels of what has been, in many places, the hottest summer on record, the exhibition responds to our rapidly changing climate and environment. Moving far beyond traditional, passive landscapes, ‘Shifting Ground’ plans to utilise contemporary art as a vital medium to transform abstract ecological data—from accelerating climate patterns to heavily industrialised terrains—into deeply visceral, intimate human encounters. By contrasting the haunting, sublime beauty of human-altered geography with the everyday lives of communities navigating these disruptions, the featured artists will challenge us to confront our own roles within these changing systems. Ultimately, this collection will demonstrate that environmental photography is no longer just a passive window to the outside world, but a stark, poetic mirror reflecting the delicate, high-stakes symbiosis of modern human life and the earth we inhabit. Submission Details:  Artists can submit up to 3 images from which ONE will be selected for the show. Successful artists will be asked to email us a high-resolution image of the chosen work. Selected artists will have their work displayed in a 4-week-long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online on our social media pages with a link to their websites. We will print all images A4 size, and each photograph will also be individually mounted and framed, so no need to post anything. Every contribution must be an original artwork. Submissions are FREE.   If your work is selected, there will be a participation fee of 24 euros via PayPal to help us cover the cost of printing/installation materials and admin/marketing, including flyers and the public PV. Benefits: - Professionally curated exhibition - A chance to exhibit your work internationally and expand your network of artists and curators - Zero commission- visitors can contact you directly, so you keep 100% of any sales - Promotion on our social media sites, such as Instagram, where we have an average of 25,000 views a week and more than 4,500 followers so far. - 4 week exhibition at our physical gallery 13b which receives around 300 visitors per exhibition. Key Dates: Submission deadline: Oct 9th All artists contacted: Oct 11th Successful artists will be asked to confirm participation by paying the fee of 24 euros within 3 days of acceptance (so no later than Oct 14th) PV October 30th, 6- 9 pm Exhibition Dates: October 30/10/26- November 27/11/26 Please contact us if you have any questions, and good luck!

London Art Collective

ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere Exhibition Opportunity | Promoted just added Updated: 29 July 2026 Exhibition Opportunity | Promoted just added ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere Updated: 29 July 2026 ArtEvol 2026: A View from Everywhere is London Art Collective's sixth international group exhibition, at Saatchi Gallery, London. The title begins with a contradiction: no one can see from everywhere. Rather than seeking a single, universal viewpoint, it places different positions alongside one another, forming a view that belongs to no one person or place. Shown salon-style, works appear in close proximity, creating unexpected connections across geography, medium and subject. Curated by Nelson Qin, it asks what becomes visible when many partial views are brought together. Who can apply: Applicants must be 18 years of age or older by the application deadline. What you get: - Participate in ArtEvol 2026 at Saatchi Gallery, London. - Your works will be feature in our printed and digital catalogues (both exhibiting and shortlisted artists), shared with curators, collectors, and institutions. - Media promotion through London Art Collective’s social media, newsletters, and press network. - The selected works will be featured on the official LAC SHOP platform, professionally presented and promoted to an international network of collectors and institutional buyers. - Sales support is provided. - Take part in live artist talks, networking events, and public programmes. - Support from the London Art Collective curatorial and marketing teams. Deadline 09 October 2026
