Open Call
The Festival of the New European Bauhaus

The European Commission organises the third edition of the New European Bauhaus Festival in Brussels (Belgium) on 9-13 June 2026, and you can be part of it! The New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a European Commission initiative that aims to turn the European Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal into tangible change on the ground, improving daily lives through sustainable solutions for the built environment and lifestyles. It combines sustainability with good design, inclusivity, accessibility, and affordability, respecting Europe's diverse places, cultural heritage, and cultures.
The 2026 edition of the Festival is calling for artists like you to participate in this extraordinary hybrid event. With its core activities taking place in vibrant Brussels and captivating satellite events spanning across the European Union and beyond, this is an unparalleled opportunity to gain international exposure. By joining us in person in Brussels, you will have the chance to be part of a citizen-focused cultural celebration, filled with art exhibitions, music, theater, dance, and more. You can propose participatory activities like workshops and competitions, or simply create friendly, lively, and enjoyable moments with citizens through musical performances and pop-up spaces. If you prefer a digital presence, no worries! You can submit pre-recorded material, reaching a broader audience and sharing your unique creativity.
Contemporary languages of artistic experimentation in fields like music, live audiovisual shows, public projections, participatory theatre and documentary theatre, dance, and performances will complement the ideas, prototypes and project exhibitions that sit at the center of the program. Your proposal should promote the values of the New European Bauhaus and the development of beautiful and sustainable spaces and ways of living together. The proposal of an artistic performance, exhibition or participatory activity should be planned to take place during the festival week, 9-13 June 2026, in Brussels.
