What gets listed

This calendar is for artists who apply on their own behalf. No assistant, no gallery filing it for them. So we list what such an artist can actually enter, and leave out what she cannot.

Nothing invitation-only or nomination-only. Nothing that requires gallery representation to submit. Nothing restricted to enrolled students. Every listing is checked against the organiser’s own announcement before it appears, and where there is an entry fee the amount is on the card rather than four pages in.

There are aggregators with thousands of entries. This one is shorter on purpose.

Running an open call or a residency programme? Send it to rebecka@samlio.com and it will be checked and listed. There is no charge and no paid placement.
