Open Call autumn 2021

APPLY TO EXHIBIT AT STUDIO17 DURING AUTUMN 2021!

Studio17 is an independent exhibition space for contemporary art in Stavanger, Norway. Established in 2013, it is run on a voluntary basis by artists and cultural workers. The gallery located on street level at Nytorget frequently hosts events that take place over weekends.

Around half of the projects that we present come from an Open Call, which is announced twice a year. The invited Open Call-exhibitors have curatorial freedom and responsibility for the project, with the help of Studio17’s board. Additionally we organise reading groups, publication releases, screenings, etc.

We are now inviting artists and curators to apply for our Open Call for the autumn 2021!

Application deadline:

Who can apply?

We are interested in applications that present either a concrete project or more broadly a body of work. In addition to group and solo exhibition one can also apply for other types of projects, such as, for example, performances, screenings etc.
