Oulu is the European Capital of Culture for the year 2026, which will shape the new ARToulu art area. The art area is composed of several existing neighbourhoods in Oulu. Art will be brought to urban areas, residential areas, nature, the general environment and to people as part of a living city culture. One of the goals of this project is to challenge traditional concepts of public art – to challenge the kinds of art we are used to seeing and experiencing in public spaces. The underlying theme for the artwork in the art area is “art in surprising places”.
The international open call is open for professional visual artists from all over the world to summit a proposal for an artwork in public space.
Approximately ten to twenty artworks will be realized with a budget of roughly 100.000 € reserved for the international open call from the Oulu Cultural Foundation and the Ministry of Education and Culture. Some of the artwork will permanently remain part of the cultural landscape.
The artwork should fit into one of the following price ranges:
less than 5 000 €
5 000 – 15 000 €
15 000 – 30 000 €
The chosen artwork will be acquired by the ARToulu project unless arranged otherwise. The price of the artwork proposal is made up of an artist fee along with any possible material, travel, housing, transportation or other production fees.
