For nearly 50 years, Creative Time has commissioned and presented ambitious public art projects with thousands of artists throughout New York City, across the country, around the world—and even in outer space. Our work is guided by three core values: art matters, artists’ voices are important in shaping society, and public spaces are places for creative and free expression.
Artists, we welcome you to apply to the third iteration of the Creative Time Open Call. Do you have a bold, ambitious, maybe even impossible-seeming idea for a public art project? We’re ready to dream with you. We want to know what you would do if there were no constraints. Proposals for speculative concepts are welcome, and we only ask that, if selected, you will work with us to translate a version of the idea that can be realized.
Any practicing artist or artist collective, at any point in their career, residing in all 50 states, the sovereign tribal nations within US borders, and territories including American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands is eligible to apply.
