California's artists are always in demand. The California Arts Council keeps a database dedicated to opportunities for artists, from local to global. You can sort this list by: deadline, date posted, region of eligible artists or discipline. You can also view additional opportunities on our public art list.

Note: Our database assigns an arbitrary deadline of January 1 of next year to Artist Calls submitted with no deadline. Don't delay in applying.

Disclaimer: Public submissions are reviewed and posted to the California Arts Council website on a weekly basis. If your listing has not been published within 5 business days of submitting your information, contact Wendy Moran at wendy.moran@arts.ca.gov to check the status of your post. The California Arts Council screens submissions for any spam or solicitous material, but does not endorse and cannot guarantee the accuracy or authenticity of any user-submitted content.
