Open Call: Exhibition at the Artifex gallery 2025
VAA (Vilnius Academy of Arts), LT
Deadline: 25.08.2024

Source: open-call-artifex-2025
INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS
We give priority to textile art (fiber art) and design exhibition contributions from the artists from Lithuania and from abroad! Also the guiding object at the core of the gallery’s focus lays materiality in all its reflexive and physical forms. It welcomes projects that engage in the topic in a variety of ways: from sound to cloth, from object to text, from thought to action. Thus, Artifex seeks the re-discovery of textile under new and creative terms and in unexpected and ever-changing circumstances. The gallery is interested in the artist's unique approach to the material, experiments and different techniques.
Preference will be given to textile art and design projects.
DEADLINE
The applications for the exhibition to be held in 2025 are expected until the 25th of August, 2024 (we will announce our decision by contacting everyone personally by email until the 15 th of September, 2024).
Applications will be selected by the gallery selection committee.
