Deadline: 11-May-21
The Finnish Cultural and Academic Institutes network responds to the challenges of the continued Corona virus pandemic by announcing a new open call for art projects.
The Institutes are seeking artistic proposals related to the themes of resilience in the face of the pandemic, radical change, societal innovation, inclusive and accessible art practice.
With ‘Together Alone 2.0’ they want to give a platform and encourage professionals to consider new ways of operating in a situation where mobility and physical contact are not possible. The project’s compatibility to a diverse international distribution is considered an asset.
The medium and the format of the end result are not restricted. The Institutes will include the chosen projects as part of their official programmes, and they will be available for all the institutes worldwide. The artist will retain the copyright of the work.
The Institutes will commission projects from selected artists or artistic groups to be completed by 31 December, 2021. A digital, and, restrictions permitting, partly physical festival will take place in early 2022.
Funding Information
- The total grant of an individual project is between 5000 € – 9000€ (including work compensation and all expenses).
Eligible Projects
- The Institutes are seeking artistic proposals related to the themes of resilience in the face of the pandemic, radical change, societal innovation, inclusive and accessible art practice.
- The Institutes encourage collective and socially responsible and collaborative projects that are developed with minorities and/or underrepresented communities to apply.
- The Institutes will favor projects that create templates and best practices that can be replicated in different environments and with different participants.
- The project will also act as a documentation of the crisis and gives the artists an opportunity to reflect it through the arts.
Eligibility Criteria
- The application is open to all Finnish and Finland-based professional artists, artists groups and their international collaborators.
- The open call encourages international dialogue, inclusivity and creativity beyond national borders. Communal, innovative and experimental approaches are encouraged.
