Impact 2025 Annual Juried Exhibition - Call For Artists

Artist's books receive little support, both financially and in terms of distribution, despite the prominent place these works occupy in the history of art and in the careers of creators. This is why ADAGP – the French society for the collection and distribution of copyright in the field of visual arts – and SGDL – the Société des Gens de Lettres – have launched a creation grant intended to encourage the realization of artist's book projects. **Thus, the Arcane grant is a grant for the design and production of an artist's book bringing together a visual artist and a written author.**

The winning project will receive €9,000.

Solo Show & Residency Fellowship

In 1957, Allan Kaprow first used the term Happening to describe a form of art, one that moves beyond traditional painting and sculpture into immersive, interactive events. Happenings blurred the boundaries between performance, music, dance, and daily life, transforming existence through artistic and social action.

  
It is in this spirit that Heure Fatale was created, a monthly salon where attendees won’t just watch but take part. Step inside installations, engage with live performances, and become part of the art as it unfolds. 

  
_Nothing is fixed and everything is possible._

_What happens next is up to you._
  
  
_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\__

  
**Heure Fatale** invites artists, performers, and musicians to submit work for _Turning Points_, our first multidisciplinary salon exploring pivotal moments.

We are seeking works that respond to the transitions between infancy, adolescence, and adulthood, or moments of transformation that redefine identity, perception, and experience. Whether subtle shifts or radical ruptures, _Turning Points_ is an exploration of the transitions we experience as well as what is left behind.

_Turning Points._

_Life unfolds in a series of transformations, shaped by moments that mark the passage from one stage of existence to the next. Turning Points explores these pivotal shifts, those liminal spaces where identity is reconfigured, and the self is redefined._

_From infancy to adolescence, and finally into the complexity of adulthood, each transition is both a rupture and a reconstitution. These moments may be subtle or seismic, personal or collective: the first word uttered, the realization of difference, the breaking of childhood illusions, the forging of independence, or the quiet decision that alters the course of a life._

_This theme invites an exploration of the forces both internal and external that push us forward. How do memories and encounters shape the way we cross these thresholds? What lingers in the in-between spaces of change? And how do we reconcile the past selves we leave behind with the unknown that lies ahead?_

_Whether through personal narratives, abstract expressions, or collective rituals, Turning Points seeks to illuminate the shifts that define us, embracing both the uncertainty and the possibility inherent in transformation._

All chosen artists will be exhibiting/performing during one night!

Call for entries for the 6th Henriettenglück Art Prize 2025

  
On the occasion of the opening exhibition of the Atelierhaus Recklinghausen in the former Königschule in the König Ludwig district, the art prize 'Henriettenglück' was launched in 2014, which is committed to the history of the Ruhr region.

  
The title of the art prize refers to the original name of the local mine. It was originally called "Henriette's Happiness," in honor of Princess Louise Henriette of Orange, the future wife of the Great Elector of Brandenburg. In gratitude to the King of Bavaria, who had given his consent to the Prussian Emperor William during the founding of the German Empire, the mine was subsequently renamed "King Ludwig." The word "luck" in connection with a mine presumably also conjured up the miners' "Glück Auf" (Good Luck).

  
Since 2022, the "Henriettenglück" art prize has been supported by the Cultural Foundation of Sparkasse Vest Recklinghausen.

  
**Topic in 2025:** In mining, a "cable ride" refers to the transport of people down a shaft in a cage suspended from a cable. "Cable rides" are not only used vertically downwards or upwards, but also as a crossing aid, for example, over a river to another landscape or up from the valley station to the mountain peak, making people's mountain dreams come true all year round. A cable ride down a mine shaft leads into the darkness – at the site of coal mining – but also back into the light again.

  
Rope travel thus leads to a place of fulfillment, a place of hope, or even a place of longing. The participating artists are expected to explore the various aspects of "rope travel" and can interpret the theme of rope travel through painting, photography, media art, sculpture, object art, or installation.

The art prize is endowed with €1,000\. In addition to the prize money, the winner receives a solo exhibition and a catalog for the following year's exhibition. A maximum of three artistic works can be submitted for the "Seilfahrt" project. 

Henriettenglück Art Prize

We know working class voices are under-represented in front of and behind the camera, with many barriers to industry. So, we’ve created a scheme to nurture emerging filmmakers to influence change in the industry from the ground up.

  
We support new talent with funding, mentorship, access to industry and a platform to display their work, empowering them to grow as confident documentary makers. 

  
Every year we will have a theme and each applicant must apply with an idea for a short (up to) 10 minute documentary film they can make over the next six months. In 2025-2026 Northern Heart we will be supporting 2 x emerging documentary filmmakers from working class backgrounds based in the North of England. 

  
The theme for 25-26 is: **CLASS & CLIMATE**.

Two filmmakers will win:

  
\- £3,000 grant

\- Tickets to Sheff Doc Fest

\- Professional finishing at Sticks and Glass

\- Cinema premiere at Leigh Film Factory and Olympic Studios

  
Plus a bunch of other amazing prizes!
