A solo artist, which is not a member of an artist-run initiative, is welcome to explore the website for professional open calls and indie-art events. Our platform was made especially for artists to be able to contact the initiatives behind these activities, for mutual cooperation and collaboration. At the moment independent artists cannot create an artist profile, only a profile for an artist-run initiative. However, we hope to enable that in the future.
