Launched as part of The Shed’s inaugural-year programming, Open Call is a large-scale commissioning program that supports NYC-based, early-career artists in creating, realizing, and presenting new work across disciplines—from visual arts to live performance and everything in between. Since its inception, Open Call has been committed to serving as a platform that amplifies the voices, perspectives, and lived experiences of emerging artists.
Selected by more than 50 industry leaders, the chosen projects will be supported by The Shed with a commissioning fee up to $15,000 per artist or collective and presented to the public for free in summer 2025 and in 2026. Along with access points created for each piece, these free tickets make the program accessible, welcoming, and inviting for all New Yorkers.
Applications will be accepted via Submittable from Thursday, February 22 through April 4, 2024, at 6 pm.
Take the opportunity and apply today to become part of the Open Call family, a community of visionaries!
