Exhibitions bring art, culture, and scientific findings closer to the public, provide new perspectives and better understanding, and serve both educational and entertaining purposes. In times of multimedia oversupply, it is a major challenge to offer outstanding experiences or convey complex content in a way that arouses audience enthusiasm.

  
The 2025 Special Prize is intended to honor exhibition designs that address different sections of the population in an innovative, contemporary and, if possible, barrier-free way, while offering visitors new perspectives on the environment and society through impressive sensory experiences.

  
Individuals or initiatives (associations, offices, studios, etc.) that develop, design or convey the content of temporary or permanent exhibitions in or near Lower Austria can apply for the 2025 Special Prize for Exhibition Design.

  
Documentation in digital form that is suitable for presenting the award-winning project comprehensively and comprehensibly (descriptions, photos, videos, websites, etc.) as well as a biography must be submitted.

The Lower Austrian Cultural Prizes have been awarded since 1960 and are enshrined in the Lower Austrian Cultural Promotion Act. **Two recognition prizes of €6,000 each and one appreciation prize of €13,000 are awarded for each category**.

  
The recognition award is intended to support artists and cultural workers who have already achieved professional recognition for their work. The award can be submitted by an individual or a group of people (e.g., an association).

  
The award is intended to honor the complete work of an artist or group of people of national importance.

The Rijksakademie distinguishes itself as a platform for artistic innovation and reflection. The institution plays a crucial role in the cultural ecosystem and offers artists the opportunity to develop and connect with an international network. Alumni are represented in leading museums, biennials and artistic initiatives all over the world.

  
Founded in 1870, the Rijksakademie has developed into an internationally leading residency. Originally it functioned as a classical academy, training artists such as Piet Mondrian, Karel Appel and Constant.

* You play an active role in maintaining and strengthening ties with alumni.

NEW GlogauAIR On-Line Residency Q2 2025 Open Call

The Art Eco-Conception Prize was born from the desire of the Art of Change 21 association to **raise awareness among the French artistic scene of environmental and climate issues** , to support it in its ecological transition and to enable it **to anticipate the major changes to come**.

  
Organised **in partnership with the Palais de Tokyo and supported by the Ministry of Culture and ADEME**, the Prize has already supported 24 winning artists in 2023 and 2024\. **100% of the winners** in 2024 were satisfied with the support and declared that it would develop their practice. 

  
**The significant** and **growing** number of applications received, 278 in 2023 and 356 in 2024, demonstrates the importance of such an initiative and **the growing expectations** of artists in terms of **environmental responsibility** . 

  
The Art Eco-Design Prize is part of a **long-term action program** by the Art of Change 21 association for an ecological transition of the cultural sector, including the creation of an online resource center accessible to all, regional support, the publication of a guide in partnership with ADEME and eco-designed artistic programs.

Each year, the Prix Art Éco-Conception **rewards and supports 12 contemporary artists in reducing their environmental impact** , with a three-day tailor-made support program at the Palais de Tokyo, provided by environmental, carbon, and eco-design experts specializing in art, as well as by artists already engaged in an environmental approach. Each winner also receives a **€1,000** bonus at the end of their support.

2025 ECO-DESIGN ART PRIZE

In celebration of Print Center New York’s 25 year history of platforming guest curators, we invite emerging and early-career curators to submit letters of interest for exhibition opportunities beginning in 2028\. Through this curatorial open call—the first in our organization’s history—we aim to identify promising voices and areas of research that are pushing our field forward, and to accelerate professional opportunities for curators who are building the print exhibition and scholarship of tomorrow.

Print Center New York’s curatorial program aims to generate new knowledge and understanding of printmaking’s potential by: 

* locating print within broader artistic, historical, and cultural contexts
* re-examining and expanding established histories and narratives
* fostering cross-disciplinary conversation
* making print visible and accessible to non-specialist audiences
* imagining possible futures and developing new theoretical frameworks

  

Guest curators working with Print Center New York have their exhibition on view in our main exhibition space, the Jordan Schnitzer Gallery, on the ground floor of 24th Street in Chelsea. 

  
Our exhibitions are on view for approximately 12 weeks and are accompanied by a roster of public programming and, typically, a modest publication (approximately 100 pages, 5x7.5” softcover, designed in-house; contains full color images, a curatorial essay of approximately 3,000 words, and additional text and elements, as appropriate). We publish a more substantial hardcover book in partnership with art book publishers approximately once every other year. 

  
Guest curators receive an unrestricted curatorial fee, plus, if needed, an additional travel budget that can be used for curatorial research and related exhibition travel. The amounts of these fees and budgets vary, depending on the scale and scope of the project (contributing factors include, for example: whether a project will include a substantial publication; whether the curator wants to lead the development of associated public programming; or how much original research is needed to realize the project). Current curatorial fees begin at $5,000 and scale upward. 

  
Print Center New York covers all exhibition, publication, and public programming costs.

The Salt Artistic Research and Production Support Program, launched in collaboration with the BBVA Foundation for artists in Turkey, continues in 2025\. The program, which aims to support artists and researchers who produce in the fields of art, architecture, design, urban and social studies, consists of two separate funds: **the Artistic Research Fund** and **the Production Fund**.

  
**The Artistic Research Fund** provides support for an interdisciplinary research project focusing on today's social and ecological issues. Within the scope of this fund:

  
* Focusing on current and critical issues at the intersection of art, design, technology, and ecology,
* Exploring prominent issues in the field of artistic research with interdisciplinary and experimental approaches,
* Utilizing the archival resources at Salt Research
* Developing original approaches in the exhibition of the research project is encouraged.

  
The selected research project is expected to be presented as a completed or ongoing work in an exhibition to be held at Salt Galata in 2026 within the scope of the support program.

  
**The Production Fund** is aimed at works focused on current social and ecological issues that establish a relationship with the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the moving image. Within the scope of this fund:

  
* Focusing on contemporary and critical issues at the intersection of art, design, technology, and ecology,
* Addressing interdisciplinary and experimental approaches to storytelling, visual expression, or performance in film, cinema, or new media is encouraged.

  
The production phase of the project selected within the scope of the Production Fund is expected to be completed by the end of 2025\. The completed work will be presented in an exhibition to be held at Salt Galata in 2026.

Each selected project will be provided with a funding support of 20,000 Euros. In addition, additional expenses for an optional trip to Madrid (Spain) and for the exhibition of the works/research outputs produced within the scope of the program in Turkey will also be covered.

The Studio focuses on interrelated areas of programming, including residencies for artists and scholars, forest restoration, and science-inspired art engagement for children and adults.
