Open Call Software
Public art programs and organizations employ diverse methods to commission artists, including open calls, juried registries, and direct invitations. A Call for Artists serves as an opportunity notice, outlining essential details for artists to apply for consideration. The two most common types are Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) and Requests for Proposals (RFP). Best practices advocate for compensating artists for creative work related to concept development, ensuring RFPs include fees and travel expense reimbursements. Calls may range from open competitions encouraging broad participation to limited competitions focused on specific disciplines or geographic areas. In some cases, project timelines or specialized skill requirements may lead to direct purchases, streamlining the selection process. At Monochronicle, we enhance this process by offering a combination of options and advanced tools for clients to efficiently manage artist submissions.
