ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with ACIT Venice – Italian-German Cultural Association, is pleased to announce the open call for MORPHOS – TEMPORARY IDENTITIES 2025, a Venice International Art Fair that will take place from April 24 to May 09, 2025, in Venice, at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello and in other prestigious venues and historical buildings.

  
MORPHOS – TEMPORARY IDENTITIES exhibition explores the transformation of identity in a world that is constantly evolving. The human body becomes a dynamic system of communication, expanding its boundaries and redefining connections between personal and collective identities. At the same time, landscapes and cities turn into open, conceptual spaces, abstract yet deeply connected to human experience.

  
The exhibition envisions a future where identity and environment evolve together. By breaking limits and redefining borders, MORPHOS – TEMPORARY IDENTITIES invites all the artists to immerse themselves in a multisensory exploration of their consciousness and to share their personal artistic research through any kind of media, from painting to sculptures and installation, from photography to video art and live performance.

The Creative Capital Award 2026

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.

An artist or institutional fee of not more than 30% of the total grant amount is also an allowable expense. If you are hesitant about how this works, you can always contact us with questions before submitting your final budget.

  
Given the high demand for production support, AFAC cannot guarantee that all selected grantees will receive their requested amounts in full. We encourage applicants to diversify their sources of funding whenever possible.

  
AFAC does not offer mobility grants, but travel expenses that are part of a project’s implementation and/or research may be covered by the grant.

  
AFAC will not provide support retroactively to projects that have already been completed.

  
For projects that have already started, we cover only expenses occurring after the agreement's signature date.

Art Fluent invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online exhibit, _BARING IT ALL._

  
**Theme:**

Artists have always been obsessed with the naked figure, and for good reason. It’s raw, real, and beautifully human. Whether it’s bold, vulnerable, awkward, or all of the above, nakedness forces us to stop and really see what’s underneath. Show us _BARING IT ALL_ from your perspective.

  
**Rules:**

Work that is copied or done under the guidance of an instructor is not eligible. Open to ALL fine art mediums (oil, acrylic, watermedia, pastel, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, photography, sculpture, fiber, wood, ceramics, film/video, digital art). AI will not be accepted. Diptychs and triptychs should be uploaded as a single image.
  
  

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at www.art-fluent.com

Best of Show: $750

Two Director’s Choice awards: $250 each
