Happy Holidays!
Newsletter 20.12.2017
ANTI Festival is sending a big warm thank you for the year 2016 to our partners, artists, team members, voluntary assistants and performers, and audience!
The past year has been eventful in Kuopio. ANTI organised six events and action weeks, free to attend:
Winter ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival 22.-28.2.2016
ANTI’s livingroom (pop-up-space project) 22.2.-20.3.2016
16GB performance day 19.5.2016

In addition, we awarded the ANTI Festival International Prize for Live Art and launched the international collaboration project Future DiverCities and organised an artist residence around the project between 23rd and 30th October 2016. We also invited local people to participate in audience workshops, to perform in the artworks, to create the pop-up space and organise the festival with us. ANTI is a result of cooperation! Go back to our shared moments, for example, via the photo albums on our Facebook page and the video recordings on our Vimeo page!
Open Calls 2017
The 16th ANTI – Contemporary Art Festival will take place between 18th and 24th September 2017! We have opened two call outs for artists and art professionals:
Call for Projects, Papers and Presentations
ANTI will partner with a number of local partners to produce a programme of projects that respond to the theme of water. We invite proposals from artists working in any medium and also proposals of talks, presentations or papers on preexisting projects.
All proposals must be sent using this electronic form and written in English. The proposal deadline is 22.1.2017.

Call for Artists: Community Arts Project for Asylum Seekers
We are also looking for 1-2 artists, living and working in Finland, to lead a community arts project and create a site-specific artwork to be presented at the festival.
The project is a part of the New Start Finland! research project at the University of Eastern Finland. New Start Finland! is researching ways to promote health, wellbeing and integration of adult asylum seekers.
All proposals must be sent using this electronic form and written in English. The proposal deadline is 15.1.2017.
