About The Open Call Platform
The Open Call Platform is the largest platform for open calls, residencies, and grants across all artistic disciplines. From visual arts and theatre to music and digital arts, explore the opportunities that can shape your practice and open doors to your next creative journey.
Our Mission
We are artists. We know what it is like to search endlessly for opportunities that match our practice. We have spent hours going through newsletters, checking multiple websites, relying on networks and even paying for services that promise opportunities. The process is exhausting, fragmented, and often discouraging. That struggle is what inspired us to create The Open Call Platform.
We built a platform that brings open calls, residencies and grants from across the world into one accessible, easy-to-understand space. Every artist, no matter their discipline, location or background, can quickly discover what is available and take the next step in their creative journey.
Our mission is to democratically open access to opportunities for all artists. We want to reduce the barriers that make opportunity feel out of reach and empower artists to focus on what matters most: their creativity, growth and the work they are passionate about. The Open Call Platform exists because we believe every artist deserves a clear path to their next creative adventure.
