Big kudos to this brilliant group of folks! It was a pleasure. Excited for this next round of Open Call. Repost from @theshedny • The second stage of Open Call 2023's selection process is complete! After an extensive Online Review of 1,200 applications, the top 150 proposals were discussed last week in a single multidisciplinary panel in the span of two days at @herenowspace As in the two previous iterations, participants for Open Call’s third edition will be selected by independent leaders across all artistic fields, including artists, cultural programmers, curators, producers, academics, and members of The Shed’s program team.
