More details True Blue: International Photography Open Call Deadline: 15/08/2026City: Kamnik | Country: Slovenia | 13 b Call for entries! 13b is looking for photography submissions for their international exhibition ‘True Blue’. This is a great opportunity to expand your network and get greater exposure by exhibiting your work in front of an international audience. 13b is proud to present ‘True Blue,’ the third installation in our ongoing series exploring the primary colours through the lens of photography. In cultures dating back thousands of years, blue—the colour of the skies—has been intimately associated with the spiritual, while simultaneously signifying power, status, and beauty. As one of the three traditional primary colours, blue constantly surrounds us in our day-to-day lives; it defines our world so deeply that Earth itself is famously called the "Blue Planet.” Historically, this ubiquitous colour was incredibly rare and costly. Ultramarine blue was crafted exclusively from lapis lazuli, a semiprecious stone mined in what is now Afghanistan. Because of its scarcity, for centuries of Western art, this precious pigment was strictly reserved for the highest honour: painting the Virgin Mary’s cloak. This theme is quite open and all genres of photography are welcome, all that is required is the colour BLUE. Our exhibition will also coincide with a variety of cultural events in Kamnik such as ‘The May Flower Exhibition’ at Volčji Potok Arboretum, ‘Križnik's Fairytale Festival’ (storytelling festival) and ‘Museum Summer Night’ at the Intermunicipal Museum Kamnik. Submission Details: Artists can submit up to 3 images from which ONE will be selected for the show. Successful artists will be asked to email us a high-resolution image of the chosen work. Selected artists will have their work displayed in a 4 week-long exhibition in our gallery, with their work also appearing online on our social media pages with a link to their websites. We will print all images A4 size and each photograph will also be individually mounted and framed, so no need to post anything. Every contribution must be an original artwork. Submissions are FREE.   If your work is selected, there will be a participation fee of 24 euros via PayPal to help us cover the cost of printing/installation materials and admin/marketing, including flyers and the public PV. Benefits: - Professionally curated exhibition - A chance to exhibit your work internationally and expand your network of artists and curators - Zero commission- visitors can contact you directly, so you keep 100% of any sales - Promotion on our social media sites, such as Instagram, where we have an average of 25,000 views a week and more than 4,000 followers so far. - 4 week exhibition at our physical gallery 13b which receives around 300 visitors per exhibition.

Kolodium Glass

Residency with a Glass Casting Technique Course – September-October 2026 Deadline: 15 Aug 2026 Country: Czech Republic At the beginning of the residency, participants will be introduced to the specific technique of kiln-cast glass sculpture—melting glass shards into custom-made molds. Residents will create a clay model, produce a negative mold, and fill it with glass for casting. The finished piece can then be further refined through grinding, polishing, or sandblasting. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the entire process and create their own glass sculpture under expert guidance in a fully equipped workshop. The residency is open to both experienced glassmakers and complete beginners. All materials are included. At the end of the residency, participants will leave with their finished artwork. Duration of residency 5-6 weeks Accommodation Accommodation is not provided by our institution. However, we can help with finding a suitable apartment / short-stay rental for the duration of the residency. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance The artist has access to a fully equipped space for the production of kiln-cast glass sculptures, slumped glass, grinding, polishing, and sandblasting of glass, as well as for the wet collodion photographic process and traditional photographic processes (Studio / Workspace Our association’s workshop is equipped with technologies and tools that enable us to carry out a wide range of artistic projects. Our equipment includes advanced tools for working with glass, as well as a photography studio and a darkroom specialized in tFees and support 10,000 CZK (€400) per week. The price includes the provision of all necessary materials (incl. glass). Expectations towards the artist We place no specific expectations on the artist. We fully respect that artistic processes take time and the residency duration may not be enough to finalize a project. As such, there is no obligation to produce any final outcomes. However, if the program is followed, the residency typically results in a finished cast sculpture that the artist can take home. Application information Artists should send a brief description of their work and some photographic documentation of their past projects to info@kolodiumglass.cz.

There is no required CV, no long project proposal, and no detailed production budget. Applicants may submit an optional text of up to 500 words about their artistic work and up to six links to video documentation. The selection committee will therefore judge your artistic practice primarily through the strength, clarity, and relevance of your videos. Choose documentation that quickly demonstrates how your work operates in a live gallery context, how the body functions within the work, and how your technical needs can be managed within the venue’s limited resources. The first video should establish your practice immediately rather than requiring extensive explanation. Join the network to access the complete Strategy Coach Notes for this opportunity. About the Berlin Performance Art Award NEW FEARS was established in Berlin as a platform for artists working across choreography and visual art, with a particular focus on body-based practices. The gallery describes its program as a response to the limited number of hybrid spaces able to support both dance and visual arts. Its activities include exhibitions, performances, workshops, markets, residencies, and community-focused events. The Berlin Performance Art Award extends this mission by offering a presentation platform to artists working outside conventional theatre and institutional structures. The award begins with a jury selection of six shortlisted projects. The jury members are Bryana Fritz, Jacopo Lanteri, and Burcu Bilgiç. Each shortlisted artist, duo, or group will present one performance work to a live audience at NEW FEARS Gallery on October 16 or 17, 2026. Three winners will then be selected. The winners will be celebrated at Panke Club on October 18, 2026. Applicants must also be available during the preceding week for setup and preparation. What Is Offered - One €1,300 grant for each of the three winning projects - A 10-day residency at NEW FEARS Gallery for each winner - Residency scheduling during 2026 or 2027 - The possibility of presenting the residency outcome - A public performance presentation at NEW FEARS Gallery - Basic technical support - Access to the gallery’s listed technical equipment - Discussion with the technical director about realizing the shortlisted work - A share of entrance revenue for the three non-winning shortlisted projects - Visibility through the Berlin-based NEW FEARS program Available equipment includes sound systems, speakers, a mixer, LED lights, a projector, a wind machine, a smoke machine, a microphone, and basic cables. Applicants should consult the venue PDF before proposing work that depends on a particular room, access route, or technical configuration. Who Should Apply This opportunity is for Berlin-based performance artists whose work combines visual and somatic approaches and can be presented within a gallery environment using a relatively simple technical setup. Applicants may apply individually, as a duo, or as a group. They may propose an existing performance or a new work, and the call does not list a minimum or maximum performance duration. The opportunity is best suited to artists who: - Can be present in Berlin during the setup and presentation period - Can realize their work within limited production resources - Have strong video documentation of previous performances - Work across performance, choreography, visual art, or body-based practices - Can issue an invoice for the award payment - Do not require travel, accommodation, or material support Applicants with a non-German tax number should note that taxes may be deducted from the prize money. The organizer does not list the rate or amount of the possible deduction. Application Materials The application is brief and asks for: - Name - Email address - An optional text about your artistic work, up to 500 words - Up to six links to video documentation - Passwords for protected videos, when required No CV is requested. The application form does not include a separate project proposal, technical plan, or budget. Applicants should therefore make sure that their selected videos and optional statement clearly communicate the quality and relevance of their practice. Berlin Performance Art Award Timeline Application Deadline: August 15, 2026 Shortlisted Artists Announced: September 15, 2026 Setup And Preparation: The week before October 16, 2026 Public Performances: October 16–17, 2026 Celebration At Panke Club: October 18, 2026 Ten-Day Residencies: Scheduled with the winning artists during 2026–2027 Artist Costs And Limitations The Berlin Performance Art Award is described by the organizers as a DIY, nearly zero-budget initiative. Travel, accommodation, materials, shipping, insurance, per diem, and production expenses are not provided. The €1,300 award is paid per winning project, which means a duo or group must divide the grant among its members. The three shortlisted projects that do not receive a grant will equally divide 50% of the entrance revenue. The eventual amount depends on ticket income and cannot be determined in advance. Why This Opportunity Matters This award gives Berlin-based performance artists a chance to present work to a public audience, build a relationship with a hybrid gallery and performance platform, and potentially receive both direct funding and a later residency. The application is also unusually accessible because it does not require a CV, detailed written proposal, or complex budget. Its primary limitation is financial. The award is modest, particularly for groups, and there is no separate production budget. For artists with adaptable work and strong existing documentation, however, the combination of a public presentation, €1,300 grant, and 10-day residency may provide useful visibility and development time.
