What Makes this event different?
Free to participate.
Art call for early-career artists who live or work in NYC.
As integral to our mission as commissioning and presenting new work by established artists, nurturing artists who are at the beginning of their careers is a central commitment for The Shed. The Shed developed the Open Call program to provide invaluable support, recognition and visibility, for early-career NYC artists working across all forms and media to create and present new work in our unique space.
Participation in Open Call is free.
All artists/collectives who are selected will receive a commissioning fee of $7,000 – $15,000 to support the creation of their work.
Open Call will occupy various spaces at The Shed through the year, including one of the galleries, the theater, and the outdoor plaza, which allows for artistic diversity in commissioned works.
Open Call artists working in the theater and plaza space will follow each other within a presentation period; the gallery space will be presented as a group exhibition.
