International Open Call 2027: 27 Artists, 27 Destinations
Initiated by NeverAtHome
Einreichfrist: 30. November 2026
This open call invites artists and creative practitioners based in Austria to develop new
work in dialogue with one of 27 local contexts worldwide. Initiated by NeverAtHome in collaboration with the Austrian Federal
Ministry for European and International Affairs and the Austrian Cultural Forums, the selected projects will be developed
and presented internationally in 2027, culminating in a group exhibition in Vienna in 2028.
The call is open for
artists and creative practitioners based in Austria. Applicants are invited to propose new work to be developed in dialogue
with one of 27 destinations worldwide.
Rather than responding to a single overarching theme, applicants are asked
to engage closely with the cultural and social context of their preferred destination. Proposals may take shape through artistic
research, exchange or collaboration.
Twenty-seven projects will be selected by an independent international jury.
Each selected project will receive a total budget of EUR 6,700, including taxes, covering the artist fee as well as production
and presentation costs. Travel and accommodation for one presentation trip to the respective destination will be covered separately.
The selected projects will be presented across the participating destinations in 2027, culminating in a group exhibition
in Vienna in 2028. Proposed works must be new, feasible within the available resources, and suitable for presentation both
at the selected destination and in Vienna.
Submission
Artists may apply individually or as
a duo and may submit one application only. Applicants must select a preferred destination and may indicate a second choice.
Applications open on 15 September 2026, with submissions in English accepted until 30 November 2026.
