Open Call “Cat Laundry”
Competition
- Submission Deadline: February 29, 2024
- Award Info: We offer exhibition space with equipment, a bar, advertising via email and various websites and social media and web and print flyers, organization of the work texts, the lecture, the documentation. We do not charge a fee for applications, exhibitions, etc. We are a free, self-organized project space and work on a voluntary basis. 64th exhibition in gallery and park 3.5. – June 14, 2024
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Photography, Drawing, Film/Video/New Media, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Painting, Sculpture
- Location: Berlin-Kreuzberg, Germany
In a public call for proposals, we invite artists to submit contributions on the topic described above for a group exhibition in our exhibition rooms and outside. "Climate protection with repression. Wash my fur, but don't get me wet."
The works of art should refer to the general term "repression of man-made global warming" in the gallery and front garden, and outside to the repression of specific problems o the places in the park. The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. She becomes nervous, susceptible to campaigns by the fossil fuel lobby, to superstition and right-wing influences. People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. You deny your own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. You don't want to see your own responsibility as a voter of parties and a cause of CO2 emissions as a consumer of flights, cars and goods. Of course something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls the behavior cognitive dissonance.
We only accept letters and videos from non-EU countries, not parcels. For works sent, we ask that the senders include return postage. Unfortunately, there is no budget for production, further technical equipment, transport and insurance - the space is technically secured. We expect good cooperation and agree on rules of cooperation.

Collage Artists of America (CAA) is accepting entries for “Interplay” a members only virtual on-line juried show launching April 1 – May 31, 2024.
Just like in life, the interaction or INTERPLAY of disparate elements in art can be unexpected and surprising. Whether the elements come together in a harmonious visual dialogue or create artistic dissonance with unusual juxtapositions, the new energies create a dynamic whole that is unique and greater than any individual elements alone. Your interpretation of INTERPLAY could be how you manipulate materials, use existing or new techniques or use specific design elements. Perhaps you compare or contrast similar or diverse historical and cultural sources. The options for variation can be endlessly fun to experiment with, either abstractly or with any degree of representation.
If you are not already a member, you may join Collage Artists of America for $55 to qualify at any time before submission. Visit https://collageartists.org/Member-Application

About Jamaica Flux
Launched in 2004, Jamaica Flux was created to build equity and to expand cultural inclusion throughout Southeast Queens. For the sixth iteration and 20th anniversary of Jamaica Flux in 2024, JCAL will build on this legacy by once again uniting artists, local residents, curators, scholars, and community stakeholders to harness and catalyze the transformative power of the arts. Projects informed by a commitment to social change, and which drive inclusive public discourse, collective civic action, and deep community engagement, are especially welcome.
Previous Jamaica Flux iterations have consistently situated principles of social practice, exploring and incorporating such diverse contemporary issues as urban development, wellness, education, fair trade, and small business into traditional and interdisciplinary artforms. Over 140 artists and collectives have taken part over the years, from installing large-scale public installations and convening interactive projects and workshops to potato ecology, SAT tutoring, CGI/AR videos, walking audio tours, and papermaking on the street.
Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning (JCAL) seeks proposals from visual artists for Jamaica Flux: Workspaces & Windows 2024, a multidisciplinary project focused on site-specific public artworks temporarily installed in a tight, one-mile radius of Jamaica Avenue and Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens. Projects that meaningfully explore the area’s diverse cultural geography and utilize dialogue and deep collaboration with local businesses, organizations, and/or public sites within the community, are particularly welcome.
Project Sites
Sites for earlier iterations of Jamaica Flux have included King Manor Museum and Rufus King Park; Jamaica Market; Jamaica Colosseum Mall; Central Branch of the Queens Public Library; Jamaica Station of the Long Island Rail Road, Jamaica YMCA; York College/City University of New York; First Presbyterian Church; many local restaurants and businesses; and a range of public spaces (bus shelters, billboards, phone booths, street corners, sidewalks).
JCAL’s two landmark buildings—Jamaica Arts Center (sidewalks, windows, balcony, galleries, classrooms) and Jamaica Performing Arts Center (lower level, fences, grass, lobby)—have also been utilized for Jamaica Flux projects. Previous Jamaica Flux sites are not necessarily locked in for 2024, but rather will be approached by the JCAL leadership during the project-selection process.
We strongly encourage artists to visit and to be thoughtful when identifying proposed sites for projects.

International Ceramics Competition - Carouge 2024
Competition
- Submission Deadline: March 1, 2024
- Award Info: Cash Prize
- Eligibility: International
- Categories: Craft/Traditional Arts, Mixed-Media/Multi-Discipline, Sculpture
- Location: Carouge 1227, Switzerland
Since 1987, the City of Carouge (Geneva) has been organising a biennial ceramics competition for the creation of works focusing on an imposed theme.
Festivities
This is the theme chosen by the City of Carouge, a city with a festive reputation, known historically for its inns, cabarets and openness in a formerly austere context.
Festivities are present in all human societies, at all latitudes, yesterday as today, to celebrate happy or unfortunate events. Characterised by excesses, moments of explosion and effervescence in contrast to an often monotonous daily routine, they set the pace for our lives.
Whether collective or private, high-society or popular, antique or contemporary, festivities offer a subject for the most diverse reflections and forms, through an analysis both of its accessories and its constituent rites.
The 19th edition of the International Ceramics Competition also marks the 40th anniversary of the Museum of Carouge, which will host the exhibition of the artists selected.

OUR PROGRAM
The program is open to professional visual, literary, and performance artists: painters, writers, musicians, architects, filmmakers, and choreographers… any artist who needs a place to focus. However, because of the property’s limitations and proximity to neighbors, this is not a place that can accommodate loud or terribly messy processes, such as welding or blacksmithing.
We favor artists whose work is technically advanced, unique, attractive (need not be pretty!), and conceptually valuable. Work that is predominantly conceptual, that must be explained in order to attract a viewer, may not be met with as much enthusiasm by our jurists. In addition, because we ask our residents to interact with the public through one workshop and one final event, we welcome artists who desire to connect with an audience in these ways.
