To mark the 180th anniversary of the Goldoni Theater’s inauguration, the Fondazione Teatro della Città di Livorno “Carlo Goldoni” is launching an international open call for a site-specific contemporary artwork dedicated to the historic velario, the great vaulted canopy spanning its auditorium. Entitled “Il Teatro della Luce” (The Theater of Light), the winning project explores the relationship between contemporary art, architecture, and natural light.
Artists, collectives, and curators of all ages and nationalities are eligible to apply.
The selected artist or group will receive a fee of 15,000 USD, along with a separate production budget of up to 20,000 USD, which will be managed directly by the Foundation to cover the creation and installation of the work.
Application deadline: November 1, 2026
