For performers and actors, dance and movement practitioners, professional artists and educators, theatre directors and stage professionals, as well as performing arts academics and students.

What is an International Physical Theatre Laboratory (IPTL)?

An International Physical Theatre Laboratory (IPTL) is a collaborative space focused on exploring and innovating in physical theatre. It includes a three-day IUGTE conference. Unlike workshops and trainings, which focus on teaching and refining specific skills, a laboratory emphasizes collective experimentation and the development of new artistic methods over a longer period. The IUGTE conference within the laboratory brings together performing arts practitioners to share experiences, ideas, and networks, enhancing creative exploration and fostering professional connections.

What is the curriculum?

The IPTL's program encompasses a wide range of activities designed to enhance the skills of performers in expressing themselves through bodily movement rather than traditional dialogue-based storytelling. The curriculum includes an intensive workshop based on the Ostrenko brothers approach, which focuses on physical improvisation, and the creation of physical narratives through movement, theatre biomechanics, and physical action.  The IUGTE Conference programs include master classes, intensive training sessions, lectures, demonstrations, and performances focusing on dance, theatre, music, opera and performing arts. You can learn about the speakers at the conference by following this link.

<Art Like Salt> 2024 Open Call for Residency Artists 

Taepyung Salt Farm X ROWILAB seeks artists to submit entries for the juried exhibition, ‘Art Like Salt.’ The winners will be chosen to participate in a residency program in Shinan, designated a ‘Slow City’, in South Jeolla Province, South Korea, with the opportunity to create work in any of the following formats; photography, video, installation, sculpture, or sound with the theme of ‘Human, All Too Human'.

2024 Theme :  Human, All Too Human

The days when people accepted 'born and die' as their fate are behind us. Science has created many options for making, maintaining, and ending life, and accordingly, life has sometimes become a matter of choice and judgment. We are all standing on the road not yet taken.

History tells us, where there is human desire, there is progress in science and technology. Technology cannot be developed and survived by technology alone. Technology that goes beyond human limits is growing in the human mind. The question is can we humans control our desires and can we agree on a criteria for control.

At this point in time, we have the ability to manipulate and choose the direction of our lives in ways we have never been able to before. What we need now is understand the fundamental question, ‘what is life?'. We must talk again about how we define what we have thus far referred to as nature or providence so that philosophy and art can continue the most human history.

SUMMARY:

There are a total of five artist calls for distinct art needs and locations at the new Public Safety Center. You are invited to apply for as many as you are interested in and qualified for. 

ARTIST QUALIFICATIONS / ELIGIBILITY:
This is a national call and request for qualifications. This project is open to any artist regardless of race, color, creed, gender, gender variance, national origin, age, religion, marital status, political opinion or affiliation, or mental or physical handicap. Artists may apply as a single artist or as a multi-person collaborative group. In the case of a group, please apply under one single application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Reno is seeking artists for a large-scale public art mural on the exterior of the new Public Safety Center. The selection committee is looking for a unique, one-of-a-kind, mural that is appropriate for placement on a public safety facility and for the diverse Reno community. Our vision is for something visually striking and can be seen from Kuenzli Street. It is not required that the theme of the artwork be directly connected to public safety functions and imagery, or to Reno history.

The mural will be painted on the exterior south wall of the building. Approximate square footage to be painted is around 3,520 square feet. See below for site images.

The goals for the project include: creating a unique character for a specific area of town, increasing public awareness of art, engaging with the community to create something that reflects the area, and broadening visitors’ perspectives of public spaces within the City. The artist(s) selected should have demonstrated experience working in public locations subject to extreme weather. 
 
The RACC seeks artists with prior public art experience, specifically large-scale mural work. The $50,000 commission will cover all services from design through final installation/implementation, including artist fee, fabrication, insurance, transportation, travel fees, equipment, and installation. Final selection of one artist or team will be made by the PAC, RACC, and stakeholders and approved by Reno City Council based on qualifications and proposal.

Selected artists/artist teams/design team will be expected to work with the community, City staff, and stakeholders to design the final artwork. 

LOCATION:
Google Maps Link

ABOUT THE LOCATION: 
Located in the heart of our downtown, the building’s central location helps ensure RPD’s swift emergency response and makes it convenient for residents to access. The site was formerly home to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Renovating the existing building provides a more sustainable option, allowing the City to reduce waste while also preserving a rich piece of the Biggest Little City’s history.  

From no dedicated public parking at the previous RPD station to approximately 50 public spaces, the Public Safety Center is designed to ease public access. Once inside, community members will be greeted by a large lobby, a public meeting space, and improved victim reporting areas. 

Other notable features include: 

• Four interview areas, including a family room 
• Enhanced technology throughout the building 
• 28,000 square feet of evidence storage 
• Improved security and safety features 
• Wellness amenities for staff to recreate and recharge such as a gym, sleeping rooms, and an inviting outdoor space 
• Female-focused additions for employees like more women’s locker rooms and a private lactation room 
• Sustainable design elements including rooftop solar  

BUDGET:  
Projected budget is not to exceed $50,000 for the entire mural project. This budget is inclusive of all costs associated with the design, planning, installation, and completion of the project. This budget includes all travel costs and insurance. 
 
SELECTION PROCESS & CRITERIA:  

• The review committee will select three finalists to interview. 
• The finalists will be invited to give a virtual presentation to the Public Art Committee and stakeholders to share more about their artistic process, past work, and plans, inspiration, and possible concept for this commission. Each finalist will receive an honorarium of $1,000 for the presentation and initial concept. 
• The Public Art Committee, with input from stakeholders, and the RACC will select one artist/artist team for the $50,000 commission.  
• City Council will have final approval. 

Selection of a finalist will be based on the following criteria:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The City of Reno is seeking artists for an interior public artwork to be installed in the two entry vestibules at the new Public Safety Center. The City is looking for projects that take into consideration the history of the site and the unique characteristics of the surrounding environment. 
 
The selection committee is looking for an art installation that is appropriate for placement at the public entrance of the public safety facility and for the diverse Reno community. The incorporation of lighted elements within the artwork is desired, but not required. The theme of the artwork does not need to be directly connected to public safety functions and imagery, or to Reno history.

The installation will be placed in the public entryway and is subject to vandalism. Artwork should take into account the slanted walls of the vestibules and that the walls are within reach of passersby. The backing material is sheetrock so anything attached would need to be lightweight and of durable materials. Murals and 2D artwork elements my be best suited for this site. See below for site images.

The goals for the project include: creating a unique character for a specific area of town, increasing public awareness of art, engaging with the community to create something that reflects the area, and broadening visitors’ perspectives of public spaces within the City. The artist(s) selected should have demonstrated experience working in public locations subject to vandalism and extreme weather. 
 
The RACC seeks artists with prior public art experience, specifically installation of indoor work. The $30,000 commission will cover all services from design through final installation/implementation, including artist fee, fabrication, insurance, transportation, travel fees, equipment, and installation. Final selection of one artist or team will be made by the PAC, RACC, and stakeholders and approved by Reno City Council based on qualifications and proposal.

Under this Call for Artists (“CFA”), the Library, Arts & Culture Department (“Library”) of the City of Glendale (“City”)— on behalf of the City’s Arts & Culture Commission (“ACC”)— is accepting proposals from qualified candidates who would like to participate in its’ Beyond the Box – Utility Box Art Program (“Program”).  A successful applicant will be required to adhere to the Program requirements set forth herein below.

This project is open to all local and regional artists. The ACC encourages applications from both new and established artists. Glendale artists may be given preference if all else is equal. Artists may apply as an individual artist or as a group. For group submissions, a signed Release of Liability and Indemnity Agreement for each participating artist must be included in addition to the application form and design template. Group submissions may be for a single utility box or multiple utility boxes. No more than three submissions per individual or group. City of Glendale employees are not eligible to apply.

The Library and the ACC have designed a program to support public art programs and to enhance the community and neighborhoods through the use of art. The Beyond the Box – Utility Box Art Program enhances the aesthetics of the city, promotes civic pride, increases pedestrian traffic and extends public art to new areas and unexpected places while creating an attractive environment and allowing art to be introduced to the public in a creative and inventive way. The program goal is to bring beauty to unexpected places such as public infrastructure and utility boxes.

This Call For Artists is for a Beyond The Box – Utility Box Art Program art painting event that will take place from October 14 - 20, 2024 with selected utility boxes throughout various locations in Glendale.

The theme of this year’s Beyond the Box – Utility Box Art Program is Art & Science Collide in celebration of Glendale Library, Arts & Culture’s participation in PST ART: Art & Science Collide, which is the Getty Foundation’s Southern California regional arts and culture initiative returning in September 2024. This year’s theme, Art & Science Collide, will create opportunities for civic dialogue around some of the most urgent problems of our time by exploring past and present connections between art and science. Applicants are highly encouraged to visit the PST ART: Art & Science Collide website at https://pst.art/en/about to gain inspiration for submissions and proposals.

The ACC would like to encourage artists and community members to create art in the City to beautify the streetscape by incorporating the theme as inspiration for proposal submissions. Artists are not required, but highly encouraged to incorporate volunteers into the art process. Artists may create a template or outline to help volunteers paint the art, or propose another concept for involving volunteers in the art process.

Artists will be required to prime paint their specific utility box. Artists may begin prime painting the utility boxes on Monday, October 14, 2024, and must begin painting utility boxes no later than Friday, October 18, 2024. Painting and application of the final protective coating must be completed by Sunday, October 20, 2024.

The ACC will fund $1,000.00 per utility box, inclusive of all artist’s fees, paints and materials. The ACC anticipates selecting artwork for up to fifteen (15) utility boxes. The utility boxes may maintain the integrity of the artwork for a period of 1 year (or when the City, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate to remove or re-paint the utility box).

This open call invites photographers are invited to submit works in response to HERE I AM, Images that have been created to express who or where you (or we) are in the now - whether to help make sense of the present moment or to let go of the past and/or, the future. Images that show your unique perspective.

Exhibition will be curated entirely on the felt process - how the panel responds emotionally and somatically to works received. Felt Photographic celebrates the fundamental call to create - to help make sense of the world, who we are and our place in it. Felt Photographic believes that all art has value and our responses are entirely subjective, therefore submissions will not be critiqued, scored or judged - simply felt, noticed and appreciated.

Which of your images is calling to be seen? Which needs to be felt?

Built in 1963, the Rail Splitter Safety Rest Areas, located just north of Springfield, were the first interstate highway rest areas in Illinois. With the advent of the interstate highway system, rest areas became part of the cultural landscape—a piece of our national heritage—providing a sense of place and identity for the region in which they stand.

The new Rail Splitter Safety Rest Areas will honor Illinois Department of Transportation’s significant contributions in interstate highway design and construction by preserving and restoring these historic landmarks. The dramatic concrete canopies, an architectural innovation of the time, will remain a beacon for travelers—a tribute to mid-century architecture and engineering. The spacious Rest Areas will welcome travelers by offering a beautiful landscape, innovative design, and a connection to Illinois history.

Exhibition Overview: Caminos Por Andar will explore Latinx and Chicanofuturism in contemporary art through the lens of speculative fiction, magical realism, and anti-colonial traditions. Artists featured in this exhibition will engage with a liberated heritage, to envision joyful and equitable futures through a variety of artistic mediums. Given the fluidity of human identity and blurred lines between culture and heritage, artists are free to create from a place of diasporic understanding, drawing on their own ancestry and traditions to center Latinx and Cincano/a/x experiences in imagined and alternate realities.
