For artists looking for their next opportunity, a new roundup gathers eight open calls with deadlines running through the winter. The list spans residencies, prizes and funded programmes across Europe and beyond, and most are open to international applicants, making it a useful starting point for anyone planning the months ahead.

Among the highlights is Artystyczna Podróż Hestii, a Polish travel and residency programme with applications closing on 27 November, and the Dumfries House Residency, which closes on 19 November. The ENERGY GHOSTS residency programme, part of the Mensch Maschine VISIT programme for 2027, takes applications until 1 December, while the First Plinth Public Art Award has an early-bird deadline of 17 November and a standard deadline in January.

Photographers have two options on the list: the International Photography Exhibition Beyond Borders, which closes on 30 November, and the Aion Digital Art Prize, with applications open until 1 March 2027. The Visual Art Open Prize runs an early-bird deadline of 17 December and a general deadline of 25 March 2027, and the International Studio Program closes on 22 November.

The roundup is aimed at artists at all stages, with opportunities ranging from short residencies to major prizes. Full details, eligibility criteria and application links are listed with each call, and artists are advised to check the individual deadlines, as several close within the next two weeks and late applications are not accepted.
