The call for entries is addressed to artists, performers, designers, and architects from around the world to express their vision on the edition’s theme by using paper and its by-products. The goal is to create bold, unique, and innovative artwork that will be exhibited outdoors in August and September.
Finalists will be hosted in residence in Lucca for the month of July. A wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas with other participants, live a research-study experience, and embrace fun and passion in Tuscany.
Outdoor call winners are provided with an artist residency for the duration of the realization of the works, roundtrip travel, materials, technical assistance, and a cash prize.
Some of the squares and city venues that will host and exhibit the Outdoor work include:
Piazza S. Francesco, Piazza S. Michele, Loggiato Pretorio, Porta dei Borghi, Arco S. Girolamo, Piazza Anfiteatro, Piazza S. Frediano, Piazza Napoleone, Piazza della Cittadella, and Giardino degli Osservanti.

2024 Theme: “Here and Now: Tomorrow”
Nowadays, nothing seems to last and people often seem to act only in the here and now, without considering the consequences of their actions, as if they faced no tomorrow. Art, on the other hand, has always had its eyes set on tomorrow, and on the human mind’s countless opportunities to travel beyond itself, searching for new worlds to build, imagine and discover.
At the same time, knowing how to live in the present – the here and now – is crucial in our existence. The present is the only time in which we can truly exist, grow, feel, love, and rejoice. Too often, we forget about this simple fact and end up repeating the same actions over and over as if in a trance, that of linear time, the time of our ego, of material living.
The outside world, society, our obligations, as well as social media are constantly calling our attention away from the here and now, distracting us from the present moment, postponing it to a later time, tomorrow, maybe.
The city center squares where Outdoor artworks will be exhibited are:
Piazza San Martino – Piazza Napoleone – Piazzale Verdi – Loggiato Pretorio – Piazza Guidiccioni – Piazza San Frediano – Piazza San Francesco – Piazza della Cittadella – Piazzale Arrigoni – Piazza Santa Maria – Porta dei Borghi
The new Calls for Entries for the 2024 edition will be published by January 2023.
