Call for entries
WE COME IN PIECES | Prospect Art 2027 NEW WORK / ONE WORK Open Call ($1,500 Commission)
August 16, 2026
International Open Call Applications accepted worldwide.
Online information session: August 5, 2026, 12:00 PM PST (online via Zoom). Selected projects will be commissioned and developed during the 2026–2027 program year.
Prospect Art invites visual artists worldwide to apply for the 2027 NEW WORK / ONE WORK Open Call under the curatorial theme We Come in Pieces, developed by 2026–2027 Curatorial Fellow Alma Sammel.
We Come in Pieces explores estrangement, shared planetary belonging, and perspectives beyond the human. The open call welcomes projects that challenge familiar ways of seeing, sensing, and knowing, and that explore relationships between human and more-than-human worlds through speculative, poetic, political, ecological, technological, historical, personal, or interdisciplinary approaches.
One artist will receive a $1,500 USD commission through the NEW WORK program to create a new work responding to the theme. Through the same application, artists will also be considered for ONE WORK, Prospect Art’s online conversation series centered on a single completed artwork, and BROADCAST, a curated program of screenings, artist talks, and discussions.
The opportunity is open to professional visual artists worldwide working across all media. Applications are accepted exclusively through Prospect Art’s online application form.
5. Entry fee
