ELIA Emerging Artists Showcase 2025

 

ELIA is pleased to announce our Open Call for the ELIA Emerging Artists Showcase 2025!

Following the overwhelming response to our 2023 and 2024 calls, we have been delighted to showcase such an inspiring range of work exemplifying the creative depth and vision of our students across ELIA member institutions.

Artists play a vital role in reflecting, challenging, and reimagining the world around us. Through this showcase, we celebrate bold artistic voices, new movements, and the power of creative expression across all disciplines, and we aim to do this again this year. 

We invite each ELIA member institution to submit documentation of one standout work or project by an arts student or collective.

We understand the difficulty of selecting only one submission, given the breath of talent at your institution. However, this curated approach allows us to give each selected work, the artist and institution involved, the visibility they deserve as we promote our showcase across ELIA’s international community. 


The submission deadline for ELIA Emerging Artists Showcase has been extended until 31 July 2025.
