Call for Artists – Deadline November 10, 2014

Art@Tell was launched in 2013 and aims to offer a platform to visual artists who are currently not represented by art dealers or gallerists.
Twice a year, independent artists have the opportunity to submit projects for a recently acquired building of the University at Tellstrasse 2 in St.Gallen. A curator will choose five projects from the applications received that will then be exhibited for six months in the school building.
The University will assume the full costs for transport of the artwork, as well as for the artist's travel to Switzerland for the installation and opening of the exhibition.
