Outsider Art Festival celebrates cultural equality and invites all artists in the field of outsider art to join the festival. The festival is looking for an international artist for an artist residency, the works of the resident artist will be showcased at the festival in 2023.
The 3month residency aims to support international collaboration in the outsider art field. It is possible to complete the work period either entirely in Finland, partly remotely and in Finland or completely remotely. The time of the work period can be decided by the artist.
Outsider Art Festival is developing a model of inclusive curation that enables outsider artists to have equal involvement and influence in the arts field. OAF wants to be as flexible as possible in terms of implementation and gives the artist the freedom to implement the working period as they wish. The team expects to receive experimental, bold and surprising submissions and fresh ideas for the art residency.
Any outsider artist can apply, regardless of their art field. Applicants should present a project plan and explain how they intend to use the 5 000 € budget (fee, travel, accommodation). Applications can be submitted until 30 November. More information about the Open Call can be found here.
