Since 2007 "PILOTENKUECHE" is an international art program based in Germany's new art capital Leipzig. The independent project is run by artists to support and empower artists.

The International Art Program invites 12 Artists from around the world for each round, to work together in our 465m² communally used studio space and realize two exhibitions during their stay. The studio is located in a romantic, remodeled old barbed wire factory. With its exposed bricks large windows, high ceiling, and above all underfloor heating, this environment is inspiring. Our concept strives to create a communal space that can lead to experimental collaboration and discourse between participants, as well as with the greater Leipzig community.

Our program is multi-faceted. Firstly, it includes visiting artist studios, exhibition spaces, project spaces, and exhibits, and going on gallery and museum tours. Secondly, a preview exhibition or open studio event presenting initial work takes place mid-way through the residency. Furthermore, scheduled consultations and critiques, culminated in a final group exhibition. During the final exhibition, the studio becomes our exhibition space. the project publishes an article about each artist on our website and offers documentation of all activities, including installation pictures from the openings. Starting each quarter, one round of our residency program is 3 Months. The program is open to all disciplines, we offer basic tools but assist if special ones are needed. 

Accommodation costs are additional, the project offers one apartment which hosts two artists. We have a network of people who host our artists on a regular base.

  
The primary languages in use are English and German. 

 The artists receive all documentation necessary to apply for funding and the visa processes. If required, the project assists with additional individual reference letters. In Addition, each accepted artist is offered a partial stipend in kind, provided by PILOTENKUECHE. Furthermore, we maintain engagements with several [friends](http://westside.pilotenkueche.net/?page%5Fid=15), to get in contact with the Leipzig art scene and increase the artists' visibility.

Accommodation, Materials and Living costs are additional, and must be carried by the artist or their funders

This Memorial differs from a typical public art installation by the sensitivity of its purpose, and submitting artists are asked to be a part of our collective healing process by extending compassion and empathy along with their creative designs. The Memorial will be built by the Parkland 17 Memorial Foundation, a single purpose non-profit organization that exists solely to construct and maintain this Memorial. The Foundation may wish to utilize design elements from multiple artists and may therefore pursue agreements with more than one artist to collaboratively integrate the desired elements into a single design that best achieves its vision for this project. Though non-traditional, the Foundation hopes that submitting artists will understand our desire for dialogue and flexibility.

Submissions for the 13th Annual O+ Festival are now open!

**Applications Open March 6th, 2023**

**All submissions due by May 1st, 2023 at 11:59p.m.**

The O+ Festival is a celebration of art, music and wellness that offers access to health care for its participating artists and musicians while providing the community with an opportunity to experience the healing and transformative power of art in all forms. O+ (pronounced Oh Positive) fosters physical, mental and social well-being by connecting visual artists and musicians directly with a coalition of healthcare/wellness providers and resources in a shared vision to nurture the individual and the community. By exchanging the art of medicine for the medicine of art, O+ empowers communities to take control of their collective wellbeing.

O+ Festival Kingston is now accepting submissions from artists of ALL mediums and modalities including (but not limited to) 2D or 3D visual art, large-scale murals, sculpture, temporal work, installation, film, animation, projections, theater, dance and performance in public spaces to transform the city into a shared art experience. The O+ Art Committee aims to curate work that contributes to or reflects the meaningful juxtaposition between Kingston’s dynamic, multicultural neighborhood communities and compelling, radical, relevant contemporary artwork.

O+ Festival builds its program around a new theme each year and we invite artists to respond to the theme in their proposals. This year we are focusing on, investing in and celebrating the expansion of health care for artists and musicians, progressing toward our goal of providing medical support 365 days a year.

**The theme of the 2023 O+ Festival is FO+rward.**

**_Forward is an action, a description, a position, a choice and a direction._**

**_Forward is where you are heading and the movement of a body through space, through pain, through healing. It is one day at a time. It is an arrow pointed in a direction determined by where you are facing or where you are trying to go. It is sending a letter on to a future location. It is moving ahead more quickly through time than if you were to just sit and wait for something to happen._**

**_Forward, the adverb, is defined as “to move onward so as to make progress; toward a successful conclusion.” And when we consider progress, we think of it as forward movement towards a destination or towards a better, more complete ideal. Forward is movement, it is a choice to do better, to keep trying, to survive. Not back… only forward._**

Additional information and reflections on the theme **FO+rward** can be found[**HERE.**](https://opositivefestival.org/34023/2023-o-kingston-theme-forward/) We look forward to seeing and hearing your interpretations of this theme and to reviewing your work through the lens of all of its meanings.

All submissions will be reviewed, and the festival art program will be curated, by the O+ Art Committee - a group of O+ alumni, practitioners, industry professionals, etc. representing different practices, identities and perspectives. Accepted submissions will be invited to participate at this year’s festival in exchange for access to care in the O+ Artists’ Clinic.

Please remember that the festival takes place in traditional and non-conventional venues, both indoor and out. While there will be opportunities for more traditionally exhibited work we strongly encourage submissions that are site specific, nomadic or amenable to non-traditional/outdoor exhibition, installation or performance spaces.

\*_Work that is a collaboration or hybrid between visual art/movement and music or art/wellness may choose to submit in either category._

As per O+'s mission, all artists, musicians, and writers will receive access to the O+ Festival Clinic in exchange for their work during the festival including no cost services from providers/practitioners of dentistry, ophthalmology, massage, reiki, mental health support, recovery support, acupuncture, primary care, chiropractic, audiology and more (regardless of insurance status).

O+ Festival 2023

It’s that time of the year, **Denise Bibro Fine Art, NYC,** is having its **open call for "Art from The Boros.”** For the past nine years we have selected diverse and hardworking artists to participate in this annual group show highlighting talent found within New York City’s five boroughs. The mission of the exhibition is to seek and find the pulse of talent in the city that is often overlooked and underexposed.

  
We are asking artists in the five boroughs to submit all works virtually. From these submissions we will choose **TEN** artists for a virtual exhibition (on our website and Artsy.com). From those ten artists we will then choose **ONE** artist to have a solo virtual exhibition later this year.
