Open Call | Jaipur Art Week, Edition 5.0
Building on the legacy of previous iterations, Jaipur Art Week Edition 5.0 launches an Open Call, inviting artists and creatives to share innovative proposals for new work that will encourage meaningful and open dialogue and collaboration.
Encouraging artists to make the work they want to, and not to try to fit it into a pre-set curatorial boundary, there are no set submission criteria or geographical boundaries to participation, ensuring the artist’s voice is always front and centre.
Maintaining a co-curated approach to the development of each Edition, we will work with a Jury of esteemed international arts professionals and Artist Mentors who will each support the development of selected artists’ work.
The year’s jury of international arts professionals includes Anita Dube (Contemporary Visual Artist and Art Critic),Renu Modi (Founder, Gallery Espace), Wood and Harrison (Collaborative Artist Duo), and Aindrea Emelife (Curator, Nigeria Pavilion at Venice Biennale 2024 and Art Historian)
Developing on our commitment to support early career artists and creatives, selected artists will each be assigned an Artist Mentor to support the development and selection of the work that will be showcased during Jaipur Art Week. This year’s mentors include visual artists Thukral & Tagra,Vibha Galhotra and Gigi Scaria.
