APPLY TO OUR 2025 OPEN CALL FOR NEW ARTISTS
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER III
An open call for new artists
Open call dates: February 1st - March 31st, 2025
Application Deadline: Midnight, March 31st
Application review and notification: By the end of April
Exhibition dates: June 14th - July 19th, 2025
Co-Lab Projects invites all Austin area artists who have NOT physically exhibited with Co-Lab in the past to apply for this open call exhibition. The application is open to individual artists, curators, collectives, or other groups who fit this description.
Submitted/proposed works may be in any medium including but not limited to: installation, video/film, performance, 2D and 3D static works, social practice, etc. Please consider the installation logistics and limitations of the culvert gallery, for example the space is not temperature or humidity controlled which means it is not necessarily an ideal environment for works on paper or photography. If you have specific concerns we’re happy to answer any questions before you submit.
Artworks do not have to be from any specific time frame. The open call title is tongue in cheek, however we do encourage applying with semi-recent work and/or new proposed work.
Works will be reviewed and selected by a Curatorial Committee and the format of the exhibition will be determined by these selections. For example we may decide to pair two artists who submitted separately, or build a multiple artist exhibition from several applicants, or a large group exhibition may take shape. The format will depend largely on what we receive from applicants.
*Note: The last two years of this application/program have produced group exhibitions.
Please fill out the form below to apply. What are you waiting for huh?!
