OBRAS

OBRAS: Residency in Portugal (Sept 15 – Dec 15, 2026) Deadline: 15 Aug 2026 Country: Portugal OBRAS is an international art residency offering artists and researchers time, space, and solitude. Located on land known as Herdade da Marmeleira near the village of Évoramonte in the Alentejo region of Portugal, OBRAS exists to foster the conditions necessary for deep work. Residencies at OBRAS are self-directed. Residents are given time to work without expectations of finished outcomes. The emphasis is on process rather than results, and on allowing work to develop at its own pace while living alongside a small group of international artists on the property. Opportunities to share work exist, but participation is informal and never required. About every five days, we gather for a shared dinner. Each resident prepares a dish, and we eat together. It is a simple way of marking time and staying connected without turning the residency into a social program. During their stay, residents are invited to give an informal talk. This can be about their background, their current work, or the questions they are working through while here. These talks are conversational rather than formal, and often reflect work that is still in progress. Twice a year, we organise an open studio and invite the local community to visit. Residents open their studios and share what they have been working on, whether finished or not. On those days, we cook together again — a larger meal this time — and welcome guests to eat with us. It is not a formal exhibition. It is simply a way of opening the doors. Duration of residency 3 to 8 weeks Accommodation OBRAS is a small cluster of buildings and outdoor areas that have evolved. The property includes a main house with several apartments and work spaces, two cottages, four studios, outdoor working areas, and a swimming pool. The buildings sit close enough to feel connected, but far enough apart that you can move through the day without interruption. Residents live and work across the property rather than in a single building. Paths and open views connect apartments, studios, courtyards, and gardens. The scale is small enough that people encounter one another naturally, but large enough that everyone can find privacy when needed. The buildings themselves are part of the region’s rural architecture. The main house is roughly two centuries old, a typical Portuguese monte overlooking open land with the medieval fortress of Évoramonte visible on the horizon. The surrounding landscape is part of daily life at OBRAS. Many residents move between indoor and outdoor spaces as they work, stepping directly from studios and apartments into the fields and paths that surround the property. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Disciplines include but are not limited to: visual arts, video and film, installation art, fiber arts, jewelry, design music, writing, performance art, dance, theatrical, and research-based projectsStudio / Workspace The studios at OBRAS are straightforward workspaces. Some are large and open. Others are smaller and more contained. Spaces are assigned based on availability and the needs of the work. The rooms are simple: high ceilings, stone or cement floors, and natural light. There are no sinks or built-in technical infrastructure. Artists are expected to work within the limitations of the space. There are five indoor studios for working, ranging in size from 5x5m up to 10x30m. There is also a studio dedicated to music, which includes a piano and assorted musical instruments. In Addition there are multiple outdoor spaces to work. The land extends in every direction, and several defined exterior areas can be used for projects that need scale, air, or distance from walls. Some are structured by stone. Others are simply open ground. Wind, light, heat, and time of day become part of the conditions. Residents move between interior and exterior spaces depending on the needs of the work. There is no hierarchy between them. A workspace can also be a patch of earth, a circle of stone, or a stretch of open sky. The surrounding landscape is quiet but not neutral. It carries agricultural history, traces of earlier structures, and long sight-lines toward Évoramonte. For some artists, this becomes part of the work, for others, it is simply the ground on which the residency unfolds.Fees and support The apartments and houses are simple and priced according to their size and layout. All costs are per week. Casa Principal:    165€ (245€ for two people). Casa Vicente:      210€ (310€ for two). Casa Miradouro: 200€ (320€ for two). Some residents come on their own, others share the time with a partner. The spaces can accommodate both, depending on availability. Ateliers are available as needed, based on availability, and are 50€ per week. Currently, the ateliers have electricity and gas heaters but no other facilities. The Sala da Música, with the piano, is 65€. Expectations towards the artist Opportunities to share work exist, but participation is informal and never required. About every five days, we gather for a shared dinner. Each resident prepares a dish, and we eat together. It is a simple way of marking time and staying connected without turning the residency into a social program. During their stay, residents are invited to give an informal talk.

This is a great opportunity to expand your network and get greater exposure by exhibiting your work in front of an international audience. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vale da Grila Dance Village

Portugal Retreat for Dancers Aug 4, 2026 | Intensives A 3-Day Retreat in Central Portugal for Professional Dancers. This retreat is an invitation for professional dancers to dedicate three days to the body that sustains their practice. Within the rhythm of training, rehearsals, performances, and ongoing artistic work, there is rarely space to pause, recover, and listen. These three days are designed to offer that space. Through somatic practices, movement research, improvisation, and time in nature, we return to movement that supports the body’s anatomy, deepens awareness, and restores physical and mental resources. Where: Vale da Grila Dance Village, Penela, Central Portugal When: 4-6 September 2026 Deadline for applications: 15. 8. 2026 The retreat welcomes a limited number of participants to maintain an intimate atmosphere and a high-quality shared experience. Facilitated by Or Marin, a choreographer, educator, and Artistic Director of this new dance center in Portugal.

Got Rhythm Call For Entry Entry Deadline: Aug 15, 2026, 12:00:00 PM Eligibility: Regional Entry Fee: 15.00 - 35.00 Illinois Got Rhythm? Prospectus It is human nature to respond to Rhythm: we dance, clap, and make visual art. Rhythm in visual art can be expressed in the language of lines, shapes and colors. When we listen to music, we channel our emotional responses through mark-making: gestural lines, strokes and colors vibrate like sound waves. We respond in our own unique way to rhythm and music--to the beat of our own drum. How do you respond to rhythm, sound and music in your artwork? We are seeking two-dimensional It is human nature to respond to Rhythm: we dance, clap, and make visual art. Rhythm in visual art can be expressed in the language of lines, shapes and colors. When we listen to music, we channel our emotional responses through mark-making: gestural lines, strokes and colors vibrate like sound waves. We respond in our own unique way to rhythm and music--to the beat of our own drum. How do you respond to rhythm, sound and music in your artwork? We are seeking two-dimensional works of art that celebrate the theme of music and reverberate with the rhythm of life. Everything has rhythm: our heartbeat, breath and cadence of speech. Show us how you transform musical notes, vocalizations and song lyrics into visual art. We are open to a diversity of media and approaches, which range from abstract to representational. It is natural to be moved by song lyrics, whether you paint "Rio dancing in the sand," or the "Man in the Mirror," visual metaphors may surface as characters in your work. Kandinsky, a German Expressionist, made abstract paintings inspired by the tempo, cadence and structural patterns in music. For centuries, figure painters have conveyed the momentum, flow and movement of music through dance. Essentially, we are looking for authentic responses to rhythm, sound and music in a 2D visual format. Accepted media: painting, drawing, printmaking, photography and textiles. The work must hang on the wall and weigh less than 5 pounds. Size limit: 30 inches on the longest side, including frame. Exhibition Dates: September 6th through October 25th 2026 Opening Reception: Saturday, September 6th, 2 to 5 PM It is highly recommended that you watch the helpful video below and read the submission guidelines before applying. This is a regional call for art limited to artists living in the Midwest in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky and Minnesota. Jurors: Melanie P. Brown, Ross Martens and Darren Oberto Melanie P. Brown, (b.1972), is a prolific painter and teaching artist living and working in Chicago. She has performed live painting during collaborations with local musicians and ensembles, and at the Fulton Street Collective. She holds a BA from Knox College and an MFA from the American University in DC.  Ross Martens studied Film & Photography at Northwestern University. In Chicago, he works as an artist, photographer, and art framer. He has been co-owner of Alley Gallery since 2010. Darren Oberto was born 1978 in Ann Arbor, MI. He received a bachelor of fine art degree from Kendall College of Art and Design in 2001. Following his formal education, Darren relocated to the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. He then entered into a rewarding apprenticeship with his mentor, Christopher Molloy, who fostered a creative niche at the Alley Gallery in Evanston, where Darren is now co-owner and resident artist. His work is multidisciplinary but radiates from a nucleus of traditional painting. He is interested and concerned with all media and conceptual horizons that are defined by art, science, and the human experience. He considers himself a “maker” and has an obsession with creating that permeates every aspect of his life.
