Culture Ireland Call - Justus Lipsius Building 2026
Installation opportunity in Brussels during Ireland's EU Presidency. New work for Justus Lipsius Building atrium, July-December 2026.
Culture Ireland invites proposals for a new installation in the atrium of the Justus Lipsius Building, Brussels, during Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union from July 1 to December 31, 2026. This prestigious opportunity is open to professional artists, groups, curators, arts organisations, and other eligible bodies. Submissions must outline the concept, media used, realisation approach, participants if relevant, European context, and detailed budget. All proposals must involve new work specifically created for this opportunity. Important restrictions apply including no use of building facades, trusses, or sound-based installations due to space limitations. Applications will be evaluated based on four key criteria: strength of concept, delivery capacity, European relevance, and demonstrated experience. Shortlisted applicants may be invited to provide more detailed proposals in a second round of selection. This is a significant opportunity to showcase Irish artistic talent on the European stage during a crucial diplomatic period.
