ShenArts

Kaleidoscope Call for Art Entry Deadline: Dec 5, 2026, 12:30:00 AM Eligibility: Local Entry Fee: 25.00 Virginia … A Members Only Call for Art Color is one of the most powerful tools an artist possesses. It can set a mood, awaken a memory, create movement, express identity, or completely transform the way we see an ordinary subject. From the softest atmospheric tones to the most electric combinations, color speaks before a single story is told. Kaleidoscope invites ShenArts members to explore the endless possibilities of color. Look to the changing light of the seasons, the unexpected palette of a familiar landscape, the colors of celebration and culture, or the hues connected to a particular place, feeling, or memory. Experiment with harmony and contrast, warmth and coolness, transparency and saturation—or allow one remarkable color to command the entire composition. Artists may work in abstraction, landscape, portraiture, still life, photography, mixed media, sculpture, or any other visual medium. Consider how color changes when placed beside another, how light alters what the eye perceives, or how a palette can communicate joy, calm, tension, nostalgia, energy, or wonder. Vibrant work is welcome, but color does not have to be loud; subtle, limited, monochromatic, and neutral palettes can be equally compelling. Like the turning fragments of a kaleidoscope, each artist brings a distinct combination of color, form, and perspective. Together, the selected works will create an immersive exhibition celebrating experimentation, individuality, and the remarkable creative range of the ShenArts community. Kaleidoscope is a members-only exhibition. Artists must be current ShenArts members to submit work for consideration. Submission Requirements - Up to 3 submissions - Artwork title(s), medium, size (unframed), year - Short artist statement (max 250 words) - Bio (max 150 words) Selection Process Works will be selected based on conceptual strength, relevance to the theme, and artistic quality. Submission Guidelines: Artwork must be ready to hang with D-rings only. NO SAWTOOTH HANGERS OR EYEHOOKS. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT ACCEPT ARTWORK UPON ARRIVAL.   SUBMITTING PHOTOS: All photos must be cropped and labeled in the following format: ****(example: Van Gogh_Starry Night_oil painting)*** If they are not cropped, well lit and labeled properly, they will be disqualified.   Important Dates: Deadline: December 1 Notification Date: December 11 Art Drop off: January 11, 4 - 6 pm Opening Reception: February 5, 5 - 7 pm Pick Up: March 1, 4 - 6 pm Not a member yet?

Applicants must also identify three influential artists and explain why their project deserves support and what impact they expect it to have on audiences and society. Contemporary Performance’s Strategy Coach Notes examine how these application components relate to the published selection criteria. They address the proposal, the relationship between artistic ideas and production feasibility, the supplementary funding plan, and the specific demands of the BACC studio. The notes also consider how applicants can communicate the relationship between their multidisciplinary methods and the curatorial theme. About the BACC Performative Art Project The Performative Art Project is an annual initiative organized by the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. Its 16th edition runs from August through November 2027, with performances selected through this open call, scheduled for October. The program supports artists working in spoken drama, musical theatre, dance, physical theatre, puppetry, shadow theatre, mime, and multidisciplinary performance. Proposals integrating film, music, literature, visual arts, and other creative disciplines are encouraged. The curatorial framework, “Spiritual,” allows artists to develop their own interpretation of the theme. The selection committee assesses artistic quality, aesthetic merit, creative innovation, social resonance, and contributions to knowledge within the performing arts. Selected projects must be new works that have never been publicly staged or presented. Artists must deliver at least four performances, accompanied by approximately one or two post-show talks or other public activities. Proposals must include ticket prices for general audiences, students aged 25 and under through undergraduate level, seniors aged 60 and over, and people with disabilities. Following the performance run, artists must submit a project evaluation report to the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre Foundation. BACC retains the right to provide production guidance and cancel projects it considers unready for public presentation. What Is Offered Selected artists receive the following support: - Production Grant: 70,000 THB for creative production. - Studio Access: 25 days (or 4 weeks) at the BACC fourth-floor Studio. - Production Period: Venue access covering load-in, set construction, rehearsals, public performances, and load-out. - Technical Assistance: Partial provision of lighting equipment, sound systems, projectors, and related equipment. - Promotional Support: Publicity support for the selected production. - Performance Documentation: Professional photography coverage. - Public Presentation: An opportunity to present at least four performances within BACC’s annual program. - Public Activities: The production framework accommodates required post-show discussions or supplementary activities.

Applicants must account for the venue’s technical limitations and maintain a minimum 1.2-meter emergency evacuation passage around the room. The published support package does not specify travel or accommodation funding. Who Should Apply The open call is intended for performing artists and collectives with at least four years of professional experience as performers or key creative practitioners. Applicants must propose an original contemporary performance that engages multiple artistic disciplines and responds to “Spiritual.” The work must be ready for presentation in Bangkok in October 2027.

The accompanying weekday is incorrect. Performance Period: October 2027 Why The BACC Performative Art Project Matters The BACC Performative Art Project provides a defined production framework for artists developing new multidisciplinary performance. Its combination of a 70,000 THB grant, dedicated studio period, technical support, and public presentation creates a concrete route from proposal to performance. The open interpretation of “Spiritual” allows artists to approach the theme through distinct cultural, aesthetic, and conceptual methods. The requirement for four performances and supplementary public activities gives the selected work a sustained public presentation period. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient production capacity to meet these commitments, particularly where additional funding, travel, collaborators, or specialized technical resources are required. Apply Deadline: December 6, 2026, according to the official website and Thai-language guidelines. The English-language application document states December 8, 2026. Confirm directly with BACC.
