Launched as part of The Shed’s inaugural year program, “Open Call” is a large-scale commissioning program for early-career NYC-based artists. For this second iteration, artists and interdisciplinary arts leaders, including Shed staff, selected 27 artists out of 1,500 proposals to present work in 2021 and 2022. Selected artists each received a commissioning fee of up to $15,000 depending on the scope of their projects, robust production support, and resources to further nurture their practices and expand their audiences.
For the first iteration of “Open Call,” 52 artists and collectives selected in 2018 were commissioned to present boundary-pushing new work beginning in May 2019. The presentation of work by some artists was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. They will present their work in 2021 and 2022 along with the artists selected in 2020.
