Practical Info

Conditions

• Only works that have not been exhibited or sold previously are eligible.
• The open call welcomes both emerging and experienced artists of all ages and backgrounds who wish to submit work in any medium.
• Only works that can be presented on the flat wall in the Abby Gallery are eligible. Therefore, painting, prints, or photography are accepted, while sculpture, installation art, or video art unfortunately do not meet the selection criteria.
• The works should fit within a presentation space of 7m2.
• Works must be delivered ready for display, meaning they are appropriately framed and include suitable hanging systems, etc.

Application 

Provide an overview of the work you want to exhibit, along with images/sketches of the pieces, a brief description, and the intended asking price. Also, include a short bio about your artistic practice. You can soon apply through the Kunstwerkt platform.

Process

Through this open call, we select four artists, each of whom will have three months to showcase their work on the Affordable Art Wall.

1. Selection by the community council: All submissions are reviewed by the community council, which includes local residents, cultural partners, and museum representatives.
2. Selection announcement: If selected, you will receive a notification and further instructions for exhibiting your work.
3. Exhibition: Your work will be displayed in the museum for three months.
4. Sale: The sale price of the artworks for the Affordable Art Wall is determined by the artist and can range from €50 to €750. Sales are not handled by the museum; the artist manages the contact and follow-up directly.

Important Information

• Participation is free.
• The museum provides the space but is not responsible for any damage or theft.
• The artist remains the owner of the work during the exhibition and is responsible for retrieving the artwork after the exhibition.

A new open call will be launched soon in collaboration with Kunstwerkt.
