Art Senses is a new mentorship programme exploring the sensory dimensions in artistic practice. Conceived by Therme Art, it supports works that engage the senses, alone or in combination, unlocking cross-modal pathways of perception and inspiring wellbeing and new ways of experiencing the world. Each edition of Art Senses explores a specific theme in the sensory field guided by an invited mentor-artist and distinguished jury, who offer curatorial insight, mentorship, and professional guidance. The debut 2025/26 edition, Sensing the Invisible, invites artists to explore perception beyond sight through ephemeral, interactive, and multisensory experiences. Three artists will be shortlisted.

The Open Call is open to artists working across all mediums and disciplines, aged 18 years or older at the time of submission. Artists of all nationalities, based anywhere in the world (subject to applicable laws), are welcome to apply. Applications may be submitted by individual artists or collectives; however, collectives will be considered as a single applicant, with all benefits, requirements, and regulations applying per application.

The shortlisted artists will each be receiving a 1,000 EUR artist fee and support to develop a project proposal. One will then be named Art Senses Artist of the Year, receiving a 10,000 EUR award, dedicated mentorship with A.A.Murakami, and resources to develop their project further.
