Open Call

Sor­ry Not Sor­ry kun­sten­fes­ti­val 2024 is looking for young curators

Arts festival Sorry Not Sorry seeks young curators (16-30 years old) for its 2024 edition to help shape the festival.  This can be done individually or as a collective. With or without experience! You will help shape the festival together with the other curators and artists of the festival. 

We provide a budget of up to 5,000 euros for the realization of our own artistic program.

SORRY, NOT SORRY brings art to the streets.
The focus of our festival, which always takes place in a neighborhood outside the city center, is on creative 'underground' and 'out of the box' art. You will discover 'young' artists and organizations and experience from the front row how walls between regular artists, street artists and local residents are broken down. The ideal breeding ground for interesting cross-pollinations and cultural sub-currents!  

The festival also wants to bring art closer to the people and connect them by building artistic bridges, in the context of a super-diverse society.

16 April 2023

Each curator will receive:  

1000 Euros compensation for performance and preparation per curatorship.
