Open Call Art for All Festival, deadline 12.6.
Art students and alumni from Aalto ARTS and UniArts are organizing an art festival! Art For All Festival will take place on the 25.-27.8.2023 in Helsinki's Kalasatama. The cross-artistic festival features pieces from performing arts to installations and audiovisual works. There is an open call for artists to participate in the festival. Applicants can submit their proposals until 12.6.2023.
We are looking for artists to join the Art For All Festival - INVITATION, reflecting on our understanding of home, the social and personal spaces, and the interactions within the spaces we live in at the Kalasatama urbanscape from 25 to 26 August 2023!
An invitation is a gesture that welcomes you into a private space, takes you to a past memory, an imagined future, a proposition to meet in the present and share a moment together.
Through the theme INVITATION, Art for All Festival 2023 will explore the meaning of home and the mental images of social interactions. The theme contains thoughts about the role and importance of home as a shelter, a constructed or selected space, as well as its different manifestations. The theme includes thoughts about homelessness, social challenges and safe spaces that communities create for themselves.
The festival will take place in the Kalasatama area of Helsinki, reflecting and responding to its environment and community in cooperation with HEKA Oy, NAL apartments, Taiteilijatalo Ars Longa and Settlement apartments. The area is new, unfinished, and still looking for its narratives. Kalasatama hides a flourishing urban culture, interesting places and a diverse and active population. From its roof tops to the seaside, how will it evolve? How will our ways of living adapt and change?
We invite you to imagine and embody the experiences of home and invitation in this urban place.
Each space has its own possibilities and limitations, so please consider that when applying, you can apply to primary or secondary spaces with your project.
