Zodiak – Centre for New Dance in Helsinki is calling for applications for co-productions to premiere in 2025.

Zodiak are looking for proposals that incorporate an essential relationship to dance and bodily performance, as well as an idea of how to form an audience relationship.

As stimuli, Zodiak encourage potential applicants to think and imagine the following:

* What can the ‘new dance’ entail in the 2020s?
* What topics and visions need to be addressed in the coming years / now?
* In what directions and by whom can contemporary dance and performance develop or make new openings?
* What new public relations can the proposal create and give birth to?

The CoProduction support includes financial support, studio time, and performance opportunities for both Finland-based and international applicants. 

The CoProduction support includes a co-production support of 20 000 €, to cover salaries and performance fees (will be revised yearly) and approximately 4 to 6 weeks of studio time in 2024/2025, with at least 1 week of rehearsal time on the stage before the premiere. For international co-productions, Zodiak’s support can total up to 20 000 euros, including the possible performance fee and accommodation in Helsinki.

Diversity is at the heart of what it means to be an artist. 

  
Artists possess a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a single word, they can enlighten, educate and affect change around the world. Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in creating a society where diversity is embraced and individuality is celebrated.

Become a part of this change by submitting your original art to Embracing Our Differences and its annual international outdoor juried art exhibit.

  
About the Exhibit

Featuring 50 billboard-size images measuring 16 feet (4.88m) wide by 12.5 feet (3.81m) high, each work of art is created by local, national and international artists reflecting their interpretation of our theme "_enriching lives through diversity and inclusion_._"_

The 2024 exhibit will be on display mid-January through April at multiple locations in Southwest Florida. Since 2004, the exhibit has hosted over 4.3 million visitors, in addition to 461,361 students via our education programs, for a very unique opportunity to experience the importance of diversity and inclusion in our lives.

What are the images and experiences that come to mind when you consider health and medicine? How can these experiences be presented in a visual format? What images can you explore when considering medicine and the arts? 

In what way is art the best medicine for you, and how is that related in your art? 

In connection with the Missouri Southern State University _Artful Medicine: Bridging Medicine and the Humanities Symposium_, we are looking for visual art that exemplifies the connections between medicine and the arts to display during our national symposium. This will be held at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, Missouri at the Billingsly Student Union. 

Through oral and poster presentations, this symposium will present ideas on medical education, health equity, art and design innovation, the art of diagnosis, art therapy, and art and medicine from a historical perspective. We are seeking artistic expressions that complement or demonstrate these themes. Artists working within all visual media are welcome to apply, to include (but not limited to) printmaking, illustration, mixed media, sculpture, ceramics, painting, and photography. 

Each work of art will need to be submitted digitally through CAFE. The jury will then select works of art to be displayed at the conference space at MSSU during the three-day symposium. Awards will be given for artwork on the final day of the symposium at the levels of undergraduate, graduate and other participants.

**ABOUT THE UNDERWATER MUSEUM OF ART:**

The Underwater Museum of Art (UMA), the first permanent underwater sculpture museum in the United States and 2023 CODAaward winner for Collaboration of the Year, calls for artists to create design proposals for original sculpture that will become part of a permanent exhibition and artificial reef system on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. The UMA is a collaboration between the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) and South Walton Artificial Reef Association (SWARA), two not-for-profit organizations located in Walton County in Northwest Florida.

Named by TIME Magazine in 2018 as one of the “World’s 100 Greatest Places,” the UMA is part of the CAA’s Art In Public Spaces program and augments SWARA's mission of developing and maintaining an extensive artificial reef system offering divers, snorkelers, fishermen, and researchers near-shore access to a thriving marine ecosystem. The UMA provides enhanced cultural, economic and educational opportunities for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of Walton County residents and visitors.

Deployment of sculptures as artificial reefs provides a source of biological replenishment and protective marine habitat. The sculptures quickly attract a wide variety of marine life, and over time, evolve into a living reef. This eco/arts-tourism attraction not only entices art lovers and divers from around the world; it also provides a much-needed habitat for local marine life and fisheries and an opportunity for marine scientists, wildlife management professionals, ecologists, and students to study marine life and measure the impact of artificial reef systems on the Gulf ecosystem.

The UMA is produced in conjunction with SWARA’s existing USACOE and FDEP permitted artificial reef project that includes nine nearshore reefs located within one nautical mile of the shore in approximately 58 feet of water. A one-acre patch off the shore of Grayton Beach State Park has been dedicated to the UMA project.

Annually, artists are invited to submit their work to be considered for permanent exhibit in the UMA, and the sculptures are created above ground and delivered to Walter Marine where each is attached to a custom pedestal made of marine-grade cement. The sculptures are then transported by barge and carefully installed on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico. 

The first installation of seven sculptures took place in June 2018, and the fifth installation happened in July 2023, bringing the UMA collection to 40 original pieces of work.

  

  
This opportunity is open to artists and artist teams with a demonstrated history of collaboration completing large and small scale public art projects.

Following the application deadline, the CAA will convene a panel of arts and marine environment specialists to review the applications and select seven proposals for completion and installation. Each artist or artist team will receive a $7,500 stipend inclusive of design fees, materials, labor, fabrication, construction, packing materials, shipping, and transportation. 

Once selections are made, artists will be notified and have approximately six months to complete and deliver work to Walter Marine in Orange Beach, AL to be attached to its custom pedestal. Sculptures will then be transported by barge to the Gulf and carefully submerged to the floor. 

Lead artists previously chosen to produce a sculpture for the UMA are eligible for consideration twice in a three-year period. Artists may submit more than one design for consideration, but a separate application must be completed for each design.

2024 Underwater Museum of Art – Artist Call

The Design Trust for Public Space, in partnership with the Museum of the City of New York (MCNY) and NeON Photography, is now accepting fellowship submissions from photographers for the Design Trust’s latest public space initiative, The Restorative City, focusing on health equity and the built environment. 

  
**_Project Overview:_**

We believe that photography is vital to understanding our shared environment and is a powerful tool for illuminating the city’s complex public realm. The Photo Urbanism Program was founded in 2001 to support the creation of new work that explores the natural and built environment of New York City, and surpasses strictly editorial and documentary imagery. 

The 2022 - 2023 Photo Urbanism Fellow will create a self-driven plan to photograph and document the core focus of The Restorative City initiative. While the project will look at policy and design changes required to confront health equity, the role of the Photo Urbanism Fellow is to use a range of artistic and journalistic photography and videography to capture the human, personal narratives that exist within community wellness. 

  

**_Job Description:_**

The Photo Urbanism Fellow will dedicate 5% of their fellowship to administrative tasks such as attending meetings, invoicing, and tracking expenses. 20% of the fellowship will be to provide mentorship to youth photographers and the remaining 75% will be to developing project work, including, but not limited to, photographing, editing images, developing programming, and exhibition planning. 

The fellowship award includes a $15,000 stipend and a solo exhibition.

Deliverables: 

* Two youth photography workshops
* One final solo exhibition- including a written description of work/project, and a minimum of 5 final images (digital and print; size to be determined)
