Culterim — Sommer 2023 Open Calls
The Culterim Gallery provides a platform for artists participating in the interim cultural use concept of Culterim. Although, especially among up and coming talented artists, studio and exhibition venues are a critical issue and rare, we are faced with vacancies across the country. The concept of Culterim tackles this mismatch by creating temporary residencies for artists and exhibitions in otherwise unused venues.
The works originated or exhibited as part of our concept are presented to the public and offered for sale in exhibitions and digitally here at our online art market. Our objective is to support up-and-coming artists by providing studio and exhibition venues and connecting them with people interested in art. By deciding to purchase one of our artworks, you are also deciding to support an urban-political/societal agenda.
Are you an artist and you want to participate in our concepts? Please, contact us and we will discuss further steps in detail.
Tackling the mismatch between vacant properties and the lack of space for art is the core of our programs. Depending on the property and its fittings, either studios for artistic development or even studios with temporary living space are available. In addition to new influences from working in often imposing buildings, the meeting and exchange of different artists is central in our programs.
Participating in our residency programs entitles the artist to use a studio space. Next to the award of studio space, the residency program includes bi-weekly mentored studio visits, artist presentations and talks. To cover the costs of the program, studio and accommodation costs the artist has to pay a flat fee depending on the property.
At the end of a residency program, works originated during the residency will be presented to the public in a (group) exhibition and can be offered for sale. In order to sustainably support the artist on a longterm relationship the exhibited works can furthermore be included in our online gallery (and, if desired, works from his/her archive can become part of the gallery as well).
