Type: Calls For Papers [View all]
Posted by: Kolaj Institute
Deadline: Sun, January 31st, 2027

Kolaj Fest New Orleans 2027: Call for Artists, Projects, Workshops, & Papers invites proposals for an in-person festival and symposium taking place 23-27 June 2027. Kolaj Institute works with presenters to develop a program that brings artists and art professionals into dialogue about contemporary collage.

Artists, writers, academics, curators, and professionals working in museums, galleries, and art centers are invited to share research, ideas, and artistic practices. The call approaches collage broadly, including traditional cut-and-paste collage, digital collage, assemblage, photomontage, and other practices involving juxtaposition or multiple visual languages.

Applicants may propose symposium presentations, workshops, or projects. Symposium presenters share research or artwork through slideshows followed by questions and answers. Workshop leaders introduce processes, materials, techniques, or subjects, while roundtable discussions support deeper conversation. Artist-led projects invite participation or collaboration and may lead to exhibitions or publications after the festival. Applicants may submit one or multiple proposals.

Themes include how collage is curated and presented, its place in contemporary art, and its significance as a medium, genre, community, and movement. The organizers also welcome proposals about professional practice and new ideas or subjects. Named facilitators or guest speakers: Not listed on source page.

Early Deadline: Thursday, 31 December 2026. Final Deadline: Sunday, 31 January 2027. Applicants wishing to lead a panel or project should apply by the early deadline. Submissions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with notification by email no later than 31 March 2027.

Presenters must attend in person and pay for their registration, travel, and accommodations. Registration amount and grants: Not listed on source page.

Applicants should use the symposium, workshop, or project submission form linked from the call page.
