Open Call for Artists
For 2023 Exhibitions at the VAA (Vilnius Academy of Arts) textile gallery Artifex
Deadline: 16.12.2022

Ongoing invitation: for 2023 exhibitions at the VAA (Vilnius Academy of Arts) textile gallery Artifex (April-December).

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.

DEADLINES

The applications for the exhibitions to be held in 2023 (April-December, 2023) are expected until the 16th of December, 2023 (we will announce our decision by contacting everyone personally by email until the 31^st of January, 2023). 

Applications will be selected by the gallery selection committee.
