A commissioning program for NYC-based, early-career artists

ABOUT OPEN CALL:

Born out of The Shed’s commitment to act as a platform for NYC-based, early-career artists* working in a range of artistic disciplines, Open Call selects, fosters, and presents new work. The program showcases a wide, multiborough range of voices, lived experiences, and perspectives, demonstrating the multitude of ways in which artists are working today. It embraces proposals for new works in disciplines including the visual arts, theater, dance, music, performance, spoken word, literary arts, film, fashion, art and technology, new media, social practice, and public art and architecture, as well as across multiple and new disciplines. As with all Shed civic programs, we center Black, POC, people with disabilities, and other communities that have been historically excluded and most impacted by structural racism and other forms of oppression.
For a list of past Open Call artists and more information about their commissions, please visit the main Open Call page.
