In 2023, the Centre national des arts plastiques (Cnap) is launching a call for applications "Create a vase" as a continuation of the State's commissions in the field of visual arts. The aim of this new commission is to recognise and encourage the vitality of contemporary creation in the field of design, decorative arts and crafts.
The call for applications is aimed at designers and creators committed to a forward-looking approach. The objective of this commission is to allow the winners to produce a unique piece or a prototype resulting from original experimental research specific to this commission. It aims to encourage technical innovation and unique collaborations.
The commission will allow the creation of 10 vases, free of rights, which will join the collection of the Centre national des arts plastiques. The winners may subsequently consider producing a small, medium or large-scale edition with a publisher, or self-publishing.
Deadline: 19/05/2023 to 01/06/2023
