Bushwick Gallery – Love and Heartbreak: A Duality

In preparation for the next edition of the Pilsen Street Art Festival Wallz No. 6, we are launching an open call for the creation of a unique permanent work of art.

  
Location: **South facade of „PROLUKA“ Building - Křižíkovy sady 345/9, Plzeň**

Size: **7 x 18 m**

Execution date: **21–27 June 2025**

Execution from a forklift platform

  
**CONTEXT AND LOCATION OF THE PIECE:**

* The mural is intended for the south facade of a historic house in the city centre in the protected heritage site. This is one of the most exposed areas for the realization of a large-scale mural in the city.
* Close to this new mural is the historicizing large-scale mural, Teatrum Mundi, which refers to the city's past and cultural heritage.
* The new mural should stand as a modern complement to this historic painting. While Teatrum Mundi focuses on the past, the new work should represent the present and future of Pilsen.
* A modern concept, innovative style and elements that refer to dynamism and progressiveness are desirable. On the contrary, creating an allegory of the city in a historicizing style is not desirable.

  
**THE MAIN IDEAS THAT THE PIECE SHALL EXPRESS:**

* Pilsen is a city with a rich history, which is also looking into the future. This work should reflect the balance between tradition and innovation. Pilsen is not just a collection of buildings and streets; it is a living organism made up of the people who live here and create its identity. Every citizen is an inseparable part of the city's story.
* Pilsen as a bridge between the past and the future: The theme of linking historical heritage with modern trends and technologies.
* People make the city: The mural should emphasize the active participation of citizens in shaping the city life.
* Reminder of the 2015 ECoC (European Capital of Culture): The piece should make a subtle but clear reference to the event that changed the cultural face of Pilsen and raised wider European awareness about the city.

The costs of implementation are covered by the organizers

  
Fee for the execution of the selected piece: **EUR 25,000**

Fee for the runner-up selected not executed piece: **EUR 2,000**

Fee for the second runner-up selected not executed piece: **EUR 1,000**

OPEN CALL 2025 | Wallz

**Online research and immersive in person residencies with leading US cultural institutions for transnational artists, curators, and arts leaders from our network countries**

  
The ArtsLink International Fellowships program supports pioneering artists, curators, and arts leaders from our network countries in developing their community-engaged practices in the US and transnationally. The program emphasizes the value of independent artist networks and sustained dialogue around the urgent issues facing our societies.

Priority is given to artists and arts leaders whose work expands people’s awareness, understanding, and active participation in environmental and/or social justice issues. Additional attention is given to artists and arts leaders who have been displaced from their homes or forced into exile, regardless of where they are now living.

The multi-phase Fellowship offers an online research residency hosted by leading arts organizations in the US, including Puerto Rico, and supports a subsequent in person immersive residency in the US, which may result in a follow-up project in the artist’s home country. This unique three-phase approach fosters long-term dialogue between artists and citizens across nations vital to the building of a global civil, compassionate and equitable society.

Online residencies respond to Fellows’ unique interests and provide an opportunity for initial research and connections with people, archives, collections, and other resources in preparation for their in person residencies. Simultaneously, hosts familiarize themselves with Fellows’ practices so they can effectively enable an engaged, immersive in person residency program.

In person immersive residencies build on the research and networking Fellows have developed during their online residencies. They provide an opportunity for Fellows to engage on the ground with both formal and informal connections with people, archives, collections, and other resources most relevant to expanding their practices. Hosts welcome Fellows to their cities, often inviting them to engage with public-facing and internal programs taking place on site at their organizations and across communities.
  
  

CEC ArtsLink offers a stipend for the online residency and fully covers all the costs associated with the in person residency in the US. A detailed budget is developed in dialogue with Fellow and Host.

SaveArtSpace is proud to present _Growth - New Beginnings_, a public art exhibition on ad space in Washington, DC, starting March 7, 2025, curated by Terrell Lomax Russell.

The "Growth - New Beginnings" artist call invites artists to explore themes of personal and societal transformation, renewal, and the endless possibilities that come with fresh starts. This open call encourages creative expressions that reflect the beauty of growth, whether it’s the blossoming of nature, the evolution of the human spirit, or the dynamic changes in our world. Artists are asked to submit works that symbolize hope, regeneration, and the optimistic energy of embarking on a new journey, whether through visual art, sculpture, photography, or mixed media. The call emphasizes innovation and seeks to highlight diverse perspectives on how growth and new beginnings manifest in both intimate and global contexts.

This is an opportunity to have your work placed on ad space in Washington, DC.

  

Growth - New Beginnings

Emerging artists and cultural practitioners bring a new wave of ideas, perspectives, and energy to the force of culture. They play a pivotal role in shaping new norms through free expression and creating safe spaces, fostering cooperation in times of community crises, and promoting just and fair ways of being. As such, emerging artists deserve the chance to experiment and build momentum in their work, and the Seed Award aims to support this journey. 

  
Each year, the Prince Claus Fund grants the Seed Award to 100 emerging artists who work in contexts where cultural expression is under pressure. The Seed Award is intended to give emerging artists the chance to amplify their practice and interests, thereby sparking a new wave of changemakers. 

  
The Seed Award is a trust-based grant, allowing recipients to determine the best way to utilise the support for their artistic and cultural development. This could include exploring new perspectives and nurturing connections, investing in materials, or simply taking time to experiment and focus on their work without financial pressures. 

  
The Seed Award offers support to talented and engaged emerging artists and cultural practitioners who are committed to improving their contexts and societies through socially and politically engaged work. We are particularly interested in supporting those with a grounded and innovative art practice that is inclusive in its process, implementation, and reach. 

Each Seed Award recipient will receive a grant of €5.000 to invest in developing their artistic and cultural practice on their own terms.
