National hothouse for new art

Adhocracy 2023 Callout


Presented by Vitalstatistix

Vitalstatistix is now seeking proposals from artists for this year’s Adhocracy. Applications close midnight Monday 22 May. 

Adhocracy is Vitalstatistix’s annual national hothouse, supporting the creative development and critical discussion of experimental, multidisciplinary arts projects.

Artists from around Australia, selected through a national call, spend four days and nights in a studio environment developing new work which can span theatre, live art, dance, sound, installation, social practice, visual art and more.

Participating artists experiment with ideas and artforms, as well as how audiences experience their works. A public program, including showings, talks, audience experiments and other offerings, is presented over three evenings.

In 2023, three opportunities will be offered for artists: 

> Our callout for projects, with local and Australian-wide proposals welcome – apply here

> A two-week residency at Hart’s Mill offered to a South Australian-led creative team – apply here

> Our Early Career Curator paid internship – apply here

All opportunities close midnight Monday 22 May.
