FAQ

Who are these exhibitions for?

Programs are open to authors at various career stages — from emerging to established professionals. Exact age, nationality, or educational criteria are always listed in the program description.

What is the difference between funding types?

We categorize programs as fully funded (covering travel, lodging, and providing a stipend), partially funded, or self-funded (where the artist covers some costs). This helps you filter options quickly.

How should I prepare my portfolio for exhibitions?

Keep your CV, artist statement, and high-quality work images up to date. Logged-in users can use the CallOpen.art AI generator to adapt their statement to specific call requirements.

What if the deadline is approaching fast?

Use our quick-prep checklists. They help structure your application process so you can submit a polished proposal on time.

Can I apply to multiple programs at once?

Yes, this is the best strategy. Our built-in tracker lets you monitor dozens of submissions in parallel and reminds you when deadlines approach.
