Description

Western States Center’s Culture Lab is launching a seven-month, paid fellowship running from March through September 2026 for independent venue owners, operators, and cultural organizers across the Pacific Northwest and Mountain States. Independent venues are more than stages—they are gathering places where communities connect across difference, where art and expression help counter fear and division. In a moment of rising political tension and increasing pressure on cultural spaces, this fellowship supports the people who keep those spaces open, safe, and welcoming. Fellows will strengthen their understanding of regional and national trends affecting venues, develop tools for navigating organized bigotry and political interference, and build practices that deepen belonging and community resilience.

The fellowship includes monthly virtual cohort meetings, individualized project development, peer learning, and an in-person gathering at the NIVA Conference in Minneapolis. Fellows will receive training and resources on topics such as venue safety and preparedness, responding to harassment and extremist activity, building relationships across identity and difference, and supporting staff and artists during politically charged moments. Participants commit roughly 10 hours per month and receive a stipend for their participation. Priority consideration is given to applicants in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska, but others working in the region’s music ecosystem are welcome to apply.

The exhibition will run from December 19, 2025, to January 04, 2026.

SENSES International Art Fair will represent a unique occasion that brings together creatives from around the world in Salento, a charming and fascinating area, located at the extreme tip of the Apulia, internationally known as a treasure of natural beauty, rich history, delicious food, and vibrant culture. Lecce, the capital of this region, stands as a Southern Italian jewel, where the profound spiritual power of its Baroque history and sun-kissed limestone buildings and churches resonates through its architecture, forging connections that transcend time and space, offering a unique glimpse into the essence of existence.

Starting from paintings, through photography and video art, exploring the human body and the digital world, the senses are the creatives’ common ground, the core and the essence through which they can express themselves. SENSES ART FAIR is about exploring and experimenting with new hybridizations, and creating new possible worlds while sharing a hub for dialogue, unity, and exchange among artists, architects, designers, critics, public and private institutions, and art enthusiasts.

We invite all artists to immerse themselves in a multisensory exploration of their consciousness and to share their personal artistic research through any kind of media, from painting to sculpture and installation, from photography to video art and live performance. This is also an exclusive opportunity to showcase their work within the prestigious setting of a museum, adding unique value and visibility to their artistic journey.

CALL FOR ARTISTS
SENSES INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR – 3RD EDITION 2025
Lecce, Italy | December 19, 2025 – January 04, 2026
Deadline: November 28, 2025

ITSLIQUID Group is pleased to announce the open call for SENSES ART FAIR 2025, an international exhibition of photography, painting, video art, installation/sculpture, and performance art, which will be hosted exclusively at the prestigious MUST Museum, one of the most important cultural institutions in Southern Italy. The exhibition will run from December 19, 2025, to January 04, 2026.

SENSES International Art Fair will represent a unique occasion that brings together creatives from around the world in Salento, a charming and fascinating area, located at the extreme tip of the Apulia, internationally known as a treasure of natural beauty, rich history, delicious food, and vibrant culture. Lecce, the capital of this region, stands as a Southern Italian jewel, where the profound spiritual power of its Baroque history and sun-kissed limestone buildings and churches resonates through its architecture, forging connections that transcend time and space, offering a unique glimpse into the essence of existence.

Starting from paintings, through photography and video art, exploring the human body and the digital world, the senses are the creatives’ common ground, the core and the essence through which they can express themselves. SENSES ART FAIR is about exploring and experimenting with new hybridizations, and creating new possible worlds while sharing a hub for dialogue, unity, and exchange among artists, architects, designers, critics, public and private institutions, and art enthusiasts.

We invite all artists to immerse themselves in a multisensory exploration of their consciousness and to share their personal artistic research through any kind of media, from painting to sculpture and installation, from photography to video art and live performance. This is also an exclusive opportunity to showcase their work within the prestigious setting of a museum, adding unique value and visibility to their artistic journey.


Deadline for applications is November 28, 2025 (11.59 PM your local time)


Artists, photographers, video makers, and performers are invited to submit their works. To take part in the selection, send your works’ submissions with a CV/biography, some still images (for video art), links to videos/films/performances and pictures via e-mail to info@itsliquid.com

WABI-SABI is a Japanese term that refers to that which is impermanent, imperfect, aged, humbled, and unconventional. It is a state of mind and a way of being.
