OPEN CALL Exhibition and Performance Series to be Presented by The Shed
The presentation of work by some artists was postponed due to the pandemic. They will present their work in 2021 and 2022 along with the artists selected in 2020.
Open Call is The Shed's large-scale commissioning program for early-career NYC-based artists. For its second iteration, 27 artists have been selected by interdisciplinary professionals and leaders in their fields, including artists and Shed staff, to present work starting this June through next year. Selected artists each received a commissioning fee of up to $15,000 depending on the scope of their project, robust production support, and additional resources to nurture their practices and expand their audiences.
Launched as part of The Shed's inaugural year program, the first iteration of Open Call, with artists selected in 2018, featured 52 artists and collectives commissioned to present boundary-pushing new work beginning in May 2019. The presentation of work by some artists was postponed due to the pandemic. They will present their work in 2021 and 2022 along with the artists selected in 2020.
