At VUNU, we are always eager to discover new artists and their work. Each year, as part of our exhibition program, we strive to balance exhibitions by emerging artists with those by established ones. However, we recognize that there are still places we haven’t explored, artists we haven’t encountered, and artworks we haven’t yet seen that deserve attention.
For this reason, we are excited to announce an OPEN CALL for solo artists or curatorial exhibition projects to showcase their work at VUNU Košice, a non-profit platform operated by VUNU Gallery.
