A curated selection of international open calls and residencies for Spring 2026 offers diverse opportunities for emerging artists across visual arts, photography, and film. Key highlights include the Krupa Art Foundation Young Prize, which has expanded its categories to painting, digital art, and sculpture with three major cash prizes, and the 14th edition of 'Wystaw się w CSW' for independent photographers in Poland. Other notable opportunities include 'Underneath the Floorboards,' a platform for avant-garde and experimental video work seeking to showcase non-traditional artistic languages.
These initiatives are crucial for the professional development of early-career artists, providing both financial support and high-profile exhibition platforms in a competitive global market. By offering prizes, residency spots, and gallery partnerships, these organizations help bridge the gap between art education and professional practice while fostering international cultural exchange.
