OPEN CALL: KRES 3.0
Application deadline:
22 April 2026
With this year’s edition of the Kres exhibition project, we are opening up new opportunities for collaboration through an open call. We invite young artists working in the field of digital art practices who would like to present their work at the Kres 3.0 exhibition to apply.
The third edition of the Kres exhibition will take place between 18 June and 6 August 2026, at the Mala Galerija BS in Ljubljana. The works will be presented within the existing semi-circular structure, so we are looking for projects that are interactive (in the form of video games, virtual environments, websites, applications, etc.) and in portrait format with a 9:16 aspect ratio. The artists can present or upgrade an existing work that they think would be suitable, or develop a completely new work for the exhibition.
The works included in the exhibition should be related to this year’s exhibition concept entitled Collapse, which you can read more about here.
Individuals or collectives who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply:
– are active in the field of digital and new media art
– are under 35 years of age at the time of application
– have permanent or temporary residence in Slovenia
The application should include:
– CV
– a portfolio with selected exhibitions and presentations (link to website or PDF, max 10 MB)
– a concept for the artwork to be presented at the Kres 3.0 exhibition
The concept should include information about the work, interactivity, and how it relates to the theme.
What we offer:
– presentation at the Kres 3.0 exhibition
– production and curatorial support in the development of the artwork
– fee for participation in the exhibition
– presentation and visibility on our online platforms
You can find more information about the open call here.
The deadline for applications is 3 April. Please send your applications to: lara@projekt-atol.si
The participating artists will be selected by the curatorial collective of the Kres project, consisting of Lara Mejač, Sara Bezovšek, and Dorijan Šiško.
