Art Call List aggregates juried exhibitions, public art commissions, grants, residencies, photography calls, and creative jobs — vetted weekly and built for artists who want to spend more time making.
About Art Call List
Art Call List brings open calls, art competitions, grants, residencies, public art opportunities, photography calls, creative jobs and other opportunities together in one searchable place for working artists.
Why We Exist
Finding worthwhile opportunities can feel like a job of its own. Open calls are scattered across gallery websites, arts organizations, social media posts, newsletters, grant databases and dozens of separate submission platforms.
Art Call List was created to make that search simpler. Instead of asking artists to hunt across the internet, we bring a wide range of current opportunities into one directory where they can browse by opportunity type, discipline, location, fee and deadline.
The goal is straightforward: create a useful, accessible resource that helps artists discover opportunities worth considering while giving arts organizations another way to reach the people they are trying to find.
What You'll Find
Art Call List is built to go beyond traditional calls for entry. The directory includes opportunities for artists at different stages of their careers and across a wide range of creative disciplines.
Who Art Call List Is For
Use Art Call List as a starting point for discovering current opportunities without having to search dozens of unrelated sites.
Galleries, nonprofits, arts organizations and other opportunity providers can submit active calls for consideration in the directory.
Our Listing Process
Organizations can submit opportunities directly to Art Call List. Before a submitted listing appears in the public directory, we review the information for relevance, clarity, formatting and completeness.
We may lightly edit listing text for readability and consistency while keeping the substance of the opportunity intact.
Art Call List provides information about opportunities and links artists to the organizer's official application page. Application decisions, fees, awards, deadlines and participation terms remain the responsibility of the organization offering the opportunity.
How We Approach the Directory
Artists should be able to discover opportunities without paying for access to the directory.
Deadlines, fees, eligibility, discipline and application information should be easy to understand before an artist clicks away.
The directory is designed to help artists discover opportunities beyond the same handful of calls and organizations they already follow.
Browse current open calls, grants, residencies, competitions and other opportunities — or share an opportunity with the Art Call List community.
