Open call: public art in Reykjavik, Iceland

The City of Reykjavík in Iceland is proud to announce an open call for public art work in a neighbourhood under redevelopment, called Vogabyggð. This project aims at including art in public space as a means to create stimulating surroundings and to make art a significant part of everyday life in the neighbourhood.

Artists are encouraged to submit ideas to the first part of the selection, which is in two steps: an open call for participation in a preselection leading to a closed competition. Further information about the open call can be found on the project website: https://reykjavik.is/samkeppni-um-listaverk-i-almenningsrymi-i-vogabyggd...

Applications for the preselection are accepted until May 2, 2018. Please send the required information or any questions you may have to vogabyggd.samkeppni@reykjavik.is.

The open call is organized by the City of Reykjavik, with the aim of enabling local, national and international visual artists to experiment with ideas, materials and site-specific projects that are engaging for the community, different ages and social groups.
