OPEN CALL: Development of Artistic Projects in Cologne’s Neighborhoods

For a new project, the ArtAsyl Veedel-Walk, we are looking for artists and cultural workers who would like to collaborate with local residents to develop new artistic projects.

Pilot Project in Cologne-Mülheim

Neighborhood Walk: July 24, 2026

The ArtAsyl Veedel Walk is a new, participatory cultural project in public spaces that will launch in 2026 with a pilot project in Cologne-Mülheim. We are looking for female artists and cultural workers who are interested in developing project ideas tailored to local needs and contexts based on a joint walk with local stakeholders. In a multi-phase process involving exploration, experimentation, and implementation, the artists—together with so-called “key walkers,” or key figures familiar with the area—will explore the neighborhood and engage with local initiatives, networks, and residents.

Application deadline: July 1, 2026
