NordArt 2027 Open Call

About this call

NordArt, organized since 1999 by the non-profit cultural initiative Kunstwerk Carlshütte, invites artists from around the world to apply for NordArt 2027, which runs from June 5 to October 3, 2027 on the grounds of the historic Carlshütte iron foundry in Büdelsdorf, Germany. The exhibition presents 200 selected artists across 22,000 m² of indoor space, an 80,000 m² sculpture park and the ACO Wagenremise. Applications are free and can be made online (preferred), by email or by post, with a CV and images of up to 10 works; artists who need to realise their work on site can apply as Artist in Residence with a project description. A jury selects participants by mid-February 2027. Works can be offered for sale with no commission, artists bear transport costs to and from the venue, and works are insured by NordArt from arrival until collection. The NordArt Prize carries €10,000, and three audience prizes carry €1,000 each.
