artistcalls is a curated, daily-updated directory of residencies, prizes, fellowships, grants and open calls for artists worldwide. The internet is full of opportunities for artists — scattered across hundreds of mailing lists, PDFs, social posts and institution pages. We bring them together in one quiet, well-typeset directory, refreshed automatically every day. Each listing links back to the original organization. We don't take fees from artists, we don't sell your data, and we don't run ads. The goal is simply to lower the cost of looking.
Residencies — time, space and often a stipend to make new work, from rural studios to museum-affiliated programs, durations from one week to a full year. Prizes & Awards — recognition and cash prizes for completed work or projects in progress, many including exhibition, publication or acquisition. Fellowships — longer-term support, typically with a research, teaching or community-engagement component, from foundations and academic institutions. Grants — project funding from public agencies and private foundations, often unrestricted. Open Calls — exhibitions, publications, biennials and commissions seeking artist submissions. Jobs & Commissions — public-art commissions, museum positions and project-based work for artists, curators and arts workers.
Every night, a set of polite scrapers visits curated sources — major residency networks, foundation pages, museum bulletins and verified directories — and pulls down everything currently accepting applications. Each entry is normalized into a common shape: title, host, location, deadline, discipline, funding, fee, eligibility. Broken links are detected and routed to a sensible fallback search. You filter by country, discipline, deadline and funding, then tap through to the original organization. No account, no email, no algorithm in between.
Visual art, sculpture, photography, film & video, sound, performance, writing, design, architecture, craft, new media, interdisciplinary and curatorial — the directory casts a wide net so practitioners across the contemporary arts can find work that fits.
Is artistcalls free to use? Yes — entirely free for artists to browse, with no sign-up, paywall or premium tier. How often is the data updated? The directory is refreshed automatically every day; past deadlines are hidden by default, and a link checker verifies that listed application URLs are still reachable. Where do the listings come from? From a curated set of established residency networks, public funding bodies, museum bulletins and arts-council directories. Do you collect personal data? No — no accounts, no tracking pixels, no third-party analytics. Theme preferences are stored locally in your browser only.
