Title & Description

LNR Art Vitrine Open Call

LNR Art Vitrine 2027 – Open Call invites artists to submit one artwork for consideration for LNR’s annual Art Vitrine in Seeboden am Millstätter See, Austria. The project is a curated presentation format that provides selected artists with an opportunity to publicly showcase their work to a broader audience.

Accepted submissions include text art, painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, and illustration. Artists should submit a portrait-oriented image of one work. LNR states that the optimal presentation format is 100 × 80 cm (height × width), although selected works do not need to be displayed at their original physical size.

Because the Art Vitrine is exposed to weather and the original artworks could be damaged, LNR does not display the original works. Instead, LNR produces and exhibits reproductions of selected artworks. The organization also produces postcards and promotes participating artists and their work through its website and social media channels.
