OPEN CALL for artists to exhibit in a Berlin group show in May

LiTE-HAUS seeks artists based in or near Berlin to exhibit artworks in a group exhibition in May. We prefer small or medium size works, but don't hesitate to apply with any size. There is no theme, which will allow more opportunities for artists and create a diverse show that attracts more people.

LiTE-HAUS is a non-profit organization (Ad Finem gGmbH). However, this is not a grant-funded exhibition, and we were not awarded the 2-Year project space funding, unfortunately. Artists co-fund the show with LiTE-HAUS by donations based on the number of artworks and size. Donations are not required to apply.

DONATION: Artworks up to 70 cm on any side, donate €70 for the first artwork selected, €50 for the second, €20 each additional work accepted. Artworks larger than 70 cm up to maximum 100cm on any side you donate €95 per artwork, regardless of the number of artworks selected. Measurements must include the frame. Donations for larger artworks will be determined if selected.

30% sales commission will be taken for this particular exhibition.

Artists cannot choose where the artwork will hang in the gallery rooms. We will install your work and gallery-sit.

Prepare a maximum of 10 files as PNG or JPEG. If you do not prepare your files correctly, your submission will not be reviewed. We do not need to know the name of your work or the price for this application. We will get that information later if you are accepted. Name your files: LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_WIDTHxHEIGHT_NUMBER. (Example: KOCH_ROBERT_50x40_1). Number the files 1 to 10. Measurements must include the frame. Image files must be 800 Pixels height and no larger than 1MB.
