Wars and crises destroy our civilisational achievements. What can art do to counteract this? What visionary and unifying power can it unfold?
The Carinthian Cultural Foundation (Kärntner Kulturstiftung) announces the 2nd Open Call for cultural projects. The foundation is looking for innovative, inclusive and intergenerational projects that convey attitudes and humanistic values, that transcend borders and connect people, that belong to contemporary project ideas from all areas and genres of art and culture. Artists of all disciplines are invited to develop outstanding, clearly visible and sustainable projects and to address them artistically. The visual and experiential nature of art and culture, a contemporary approach and an international orientation are what the foundations is looking for.
All artists and cultural practitioners, art and cultural mediators, individuals, cultural associations, working groups, artists' collectives and other cultural organisations from all disciplines who are based in Austria (official registration form) can apply. They can also cooperate on the project with project partners who are not based in Austria but the main part of the project implementation must take place in the territory of the Federal Province of Carinthia in Austria. More details can be found on the foundation website.
A jury will decide on the projects in closed session and the KKS provides its support by granting financial means on the basis of co-financing.
