Open Call — LICHT 2025 — Galerie Pouloeuff (Naarden)
Galerie Pouloeuff over deze open call:
“The dark, cold season is still far away but the first preparations for the annual winter exhibition LICHT at Gallery Pouloeuff have already begun. For this exhibition we are looking for young artists who make work with or about light. Does this appeal to you? Then sign up now to exhibit your work with us during LICHT 2025 in Galerie Pouloeuff!
Do you work with light?
In autumn and winter, Galerie Pouloeuff is showing the exhibition LICHT 2025. For this exhibition we are looking for young artists who work with light or make work about light. If you are somehow connected to this subject, you are welcome to apply for the open call. The exhibition will run from 9 November until beginning of January. During this period the work will be on display in the gallery during opening hours. However, the lights will also remain on after closing time so that the exhibit will light up its surroundings and the work can be admired by passersby.
Want to participate?
Are you a young artist with one or more works in which light plays a crucial role and are you living and working in the Netherlands? We invite you to submit your artwork for the LICHT exhibition at our gallery. Please send the details of your work, including a photo with dimensions, materials, and title, along with your contact information, age, and any website or social media profiles to mail.ons@galeriepouloeuff.nl. The deadline for submissions is May 20nd. Our gallery team will make a selection from all submissions. We look forward to discovering your artwork!
Would you like more information? mail.ons@galeriepouloeuff.nl.”

Open Call — Pakje Kunst — MOW / Museum Westerwolde
Since September 24, 2023, there has been a Pakje Kunst vending machine in the museum shop at the MOW. Pakje Kunst presents works of art the size of a pack of cigarettes in an old mechanical cigarette vending machine. A box costs only €6,- and you can find every form of art in it. The proceeds go almost entirely to the participating artists.
For the machine, MOW is always looking for artists from Westerwolde, Oldambt, Pekela, Veendam and Stadskanaal who enjoy surprising, confusing, moving or slightly irritating people with works of art the size of a pack of cigarettes.
