We are calling on artists in Germany and Europe to apply for this public call:
For our 6* Festival in Bayreuth, an open air festival with a focus on live electronic music, we are looking for sculptures and installations to design our festival site.
Location: Bayreuth, Germany
Date: June 12 – 15, 2025
Application deadline: May 1, 2024, 11:59 p.m.
Fee: 250 € fee + budget for transportation costs
What we want:
We are looking for installations, sculptures and other works of art. The festival area of the so-called Schokofabrik includes a large outdoor area as well as an indoor area (skate hall or club room), whereby the festival garden offers more space for art projects. The set-up should not take longer than four days. The works may have already been exhibited elsewhere and published in the media. Works that are still in the planning stage are also eligible.
About the content: Our musical focus will cover the entire spectrum of electronic music and sound art: experimental performances, audio-visual shows, live bands and DJ sets. This year’s focus will be on bass music and the genres dub, dubstep, deconstructed club and drum & bass. We will present new ways of sound and its spatial effect.
All of this can, but does not have to, be dealt with in the submitted works.
The artistic quality and craftsmanship are decisive.
What we offer:
We pay a fee of €250 and have a budget for transportation costs. In addition, the artists receive free entry to the festival, catering during set-up and dismantling, insurance during the festival and, if necessary, we will arrange accommodation. All artists and their works will be presented on the website and social media.
Who is qualified:
Anyone aged 18 or over who can write an invoice in Germany. The transportation costs must be documented and an invoice with a tax number (incl. VAT or VAT exemption) must be submitted for the fee. Private invoices are not permitted. For capacity reasons, we cannot assist with the procurement of visas.
A degree in art is not necessarily required.
Transport, set-up and dismantling must be organized independently.

Application deadline: May 1, 2024, 11:59 p.m.
This sub-project of the festival is sponsored by the City of Bayreuth.
