OPEN CALL: Solo Project
OPEN CALL
We are looking for new projects that have never been shown before.
OPEN CALL! The55Project aims to increase the visibility of Brazilian artists outside the national boundaries through constant dialogue and exchange with international organizations. We invite artists from various backgrounds within Brazil to APPLY and give us the honor of showcasing their ideas.
The Open Call aims to attract artists who desire to enrich the arts with their practices and diversify what's already a multicultural territory: Miami and beyond.
We are looking for new projects that have never been shown before. You will have a space to develop and finish the art project and research. By the end of your season, you will have the opportunity to have an open studio, so guests will have the pleasure of learning about your creative process in the United States.
The finalists will be invited to meet with the selection committee and The55Project team to discuss their project in more detail.
Open call opening: June, 13th of 2023
The finalist will be announced on August 13th of 2023
Stay tuned!
