What is The Listener’s Gallery - Visual & Performing Arts Open Call?
Artists will be chosen for a group show / production marked by the intention to curate new performance works by pairing a performing artist (sound, dance, music, poetry, theater etc) with a visual artist (painter, videographer, textile artist, print maker, etc). Each collaboration will result in a short piece to be performed or presented by Pamela Martinez / Teletextile and The Listener’s Gallery at a performance in 2025. Giving the artists 4 - 8 months of collaborative creation. The goal of this open call is expand an artist creative practice and medium while giving more opportunities for sound and performance art to be made and showcased. The other goal of this open call is to broaden the community of artists working in San Antonio by foster relationships via collaboration with out of state artists. These productions are made possible by the City of San Antonio Department of Arts & Culture Individual Artist Grant and a COSA Production Costs Grants for Artists.
