Open call period is 11.-27.8. 2025
GAP WINDOW is a window exhibition project initiated by Globe Art Point in 2021. The concept was created for the members of GAP Creatives Database with an aim to provide a unique opportunity to exhibit and/or experiment with their own artistic work and ideas. The project does not follow any specific theme and it can be done in various forms, from painting directly on the windows through displaying poetry, paintings, photographs, illustrations to streaming media and digital art.
The duration of each exhibition is one (1) month where artists will be given three (3) weeks to display and one (1) week to install/take down their work. The next phase of the project will last ten (10) months from September 2025 until June 2026 which means that, we will provide ten (10) artists from our database with an opportunity to showcase their work in the windows of our office in Kamppi.
The selected artists will be paid a symbolic fee of 100€ for exhibiting. In collaboration with each exhibiting artist, Globe Art Point will co-curate the exhibitions and provide support during the installation and deinstallation of the displayed work. Small event openings will inaugurate the exhibitions. Furthermore, GAP will promote the exhibition through its social media channels.
Your exhibition proposal must include
– The preferred period for the exhibition
– Title of the exhibition
– A short description of the project or a press release
– A minimum of 5 images of your work (it is not always possible to photograph the art hanging in the window due to the poor light or reflection)
– Description of the art: titles, medium, size, year of production, price if applicable
– A list of material needed for hanging
– Selection process
The proposals for the exhibitions will be selected based on the concept feasibility, artistic quality and its alignment with Globe Art Point’s mission. The selected artists are responsible for obtaining insurance for their work during the exhibition. Please send your proposals to info(at)globeartpoint.fi. Artists who have previously exhibited at GAP will not be considered again.
NB. Consider the use of color, scale, and composition to create an eye-catching display. The windows at the office are very reflective. Dark artworks might not be visible from the street. Artists sending the exhibition proposals are encouraged to visit Globe Art Point’s premises to test visibility of their work before submitting their proposals.
GAP Window Exhibition Guidelines
– The exhibition window is 2x 230×133 cm. The work proposed for the exhibition must fit into the frame of the window. Installations, multimedia work and other media that cannot fit in the window will not be accepted. Digital art is possible, we have a couple of spare tv screens in the office, however, the sound must be available online for people to listen on their own devices. The screens will only be active while we are working at the office Mon-Fri 8-16:00. Some exceptions apply.
– Artists are responsible for installation of their window exhibition (support is provided). Glass frames are not allowed. Please remember, window hanging is not the same as wall hanging. We are unable to drill in the wall to hang heavy work so please keep that in mind. When considering what pieces to select for the window display, we recommend people to select several medium sized works that are not too heavy or on contrary way too light.
The exhibition slots will be published on 11th of August – early submissions will not be considered!
