Open call - Vilnius Biennial of Performance Art

The Vilnius Biennial of Performance Art returns for its second edition (VB26) taking place in Vilnius from 19 to 29 November 2026. Organized by Meno niša Gallery and funded by the Lithuanian Council for Culture and the Vilnius City Municipality, the biennial consists of two strands: a curated programme of invited artists and a programme of works selected through an open call. Applications are reviewed by an international jury comprising Charles Aubin, João Laia and Neringa Bumblienė. Selected artists will have the opportunity to present new performances in public and semi‑public spaces across the city, gaining exposure, inclusion in the biennial catalogue and the chance to engage with an international audience. No application fee is required and the call is currently open on a rolling basis, with a detailed schedule to be announced in October 2026.

Curatorial and production support; presentation of selected works in public and semi‑public spaces during the biennial.

Open to all artists; no age, nationality or other restrictions.
