FIRST - OPEN CALL 2026
We are looking for what comes next.
MAD Art Gallery launches FIRST — a new space for artists at the beginning of their journey in contemporary art.
For the first FIRST - Open Call, we are looking for distinctive artistic voices, strong ideas and work that has not yet been shown publicly. From the submitted applications, we will select artists whose work will be presented in THE FIRST ROOM, the inaugural FIRST exhibition at MAD Art Gallery in Poznań in October 2026.
We are not interested in the length of your CV. We are interested in what you have to say — and what comes next.
The Open Call is for artists living, studying or working in Poland. It’s the art that matters, not your age or the length of your CV. There is no application fee.
Applications are open until 30 September 2026.
Full information, eligibility criteria and application details are available via the link below.
