Arts House - The Housewarming Commissions
Arts House is calling for submissions from contemporary artists for artworks that will be programmed into our reopening party.
While we don’t yet know when the party will take place, we are excited to imagine the time when our beloved North Melbourne Town Hall is once again alive with artists and community, and so we invite artists from all artforms to create short, focused works able to be readily installed across the Arts House site as part of our “Housewarming Commissions.”
Take a walk around Arts House to see what spaces you can make work for.
Selected works will be site-responsive, from any artform and represent the diversity of contemporary Australia. We are looking for short performances (3-7 minutes long) and focused installations that can form part of a constellation that celebrates Melbourne’s independent arts sector. The event will take place across one day only, and be free to the public.
There is no imperative to respond directly to the current pandemic, though we of course acknowledge many artists may choose to reflect on this unprecedented time: what it means to be apart, and what will it mean to come together once again.
Applications close on the 25th May 2020
