Karas Gallery is an exhibition space of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists (HDLU) with a long tradition in the contemporary art scene. Recognising the need to redefine and create a new cultural identity for the neighbourhood where Karas Gallery is located, within the EU project CreART 3.0, a collaborative artistic programme titled KARAS + KVART is organised, envisioned in a collaborative and co-creation model between one local artist and one artist from the network.
Artists will explore the neighbourhood for three weeks, and the final result will be an artistic work or initiative in the public space of the gallery neighbourhood in October 2025. As part of the KARAS+KVART 2025 project, Petar Vranjković has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an open call.
Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and expressing themselves through innovative visual, video and/or sound practices, as well as those who are interested in re-activating the Gallery and surrounding neighbourhood through working with the local community.
Eligiblitiy: Artists of younger generation born or residing in one of the cities in the project network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Latvia), Skopje (North Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Lublin (Poland), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), České Budějovice (Czech Republic), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany); Ukrainian artists through our collaboration with the Lviv Artistic Council ‘Dialog’.
The programme will provide the following:
- Three-week accommodation for artists in residence (October 2025)
- Round-trip ticket expenses to and from Zagreb up to a maximum of 400 EUR
- Artistic fee in the amount of 1,200 EUR/gross
- Daily allowance of 30 EUR/day
- Production costs of new artwork(s) in the amount of 5,000 EUR/gross, resulting from the joint action and collaboration between artists.
