Frequently Asked Questions

What are calls for artists?

Calls for artists are opportunities for artists to submit their work to galleries, museums, competitions, art fairs, and exhibitions. These calls typically have submission deadlines and may include entry fees, prizes, or exhibition opportunities.

How do I submit to a call for artists?

Click on any call to view its details. If it's hosted on EntryThingy, you can submit directly through our platform. For external calls, click the "View External Call" button to visit the organization's submission page.

Are there free calls for artists?

Yes! Many calls for artists have no entry fee. Use the "Free" filter on this page to see only free submission opportunities. We clearly mark which calls are free and which require an entry fee.

How often are new calls added?

We add new calls daily. New opportunities are marked with a "New" badge for the first 7 days. Check back regularly or create a free account to save your favorite calls and get notifications.

Can I submit my own call for artists?

Absolutely! If you're a gallery, museum, or organization running a call for artists, you can submit your call to be listed on our platform.

Where does EntryThingy get the calls shown on the calls list?

We source our calls from a number of different places! In addition to calls hosted directly on our platform (outlined with a blue line above), we also aggregate quality calls from other well known sources like CaFE and Zapplication. We also include calls from 'independent' sources that are not on the larger platforms. The goal is that an artist can have one single source of truth for finding calls anywhere!

Why should I use EntryThingy to find art opportunities?

EntryThingy is the largest free source for open calls and artist opportunities on the internet. We aggregate opportunities from multiple platforms and independent sources, giving you comprehensive access to exhibitions, competitions, and art opportunities in one place—at no cost to browse and discover.

Is EntryThingy better than CaFE or Zapplication?

EntryThingy aggregates calls from CaFE, Zapplication, ArtCall, ShowSubmit AND independent galleries—giving you the most comprehensive free database of opportunities in one place. You can browse all calls for free without an account, while CaFE and Zapplication require paid subscriptions to view full listings.

Does EntryThingy show CaFE calls?
