How it works

From proposal to exhibition

A jury will review the applications and select the projects to host, building a programme of quality, consistent with the centre's vision and rich in different voices.

01

Present your project

Fill in the form below. We ask for a short introduction to you or your collective, the project's title and description, how you imagine using the rooms and any technical needs, and images, a portfolio or links that show your work.

Applications by 23 October 2026.

02

Selection

A jury will review every application and choose the projects and artists to host, aiming for a programme of quality that makes room for different sensibilities and languages.

Selected projects announced: 6 November 2026.

03

Installation

Selected artists will install their own project in the rooms of Lucie Art Center, with our organisational and technical support. From the empty room to the finished show, we will work together to give the selected proposals their shape.

Installation period: 6 to 15 November 2026.

04

The exhibitions

The selected projects will come to life in the eight rooms of Lucie Art Center, in Ostuni. The spaces are offered free of charge, with organisational, technical and communication support.

Opening: 15 November 2026.

For artists

Your presence makes a difference

The Lucie Foundation hopes artists will attend the opening: a chance to meet the public and talk about their work in person.We would also greatly appreciate artists volunteering some of their time to welcome visitors and look after the rooms. This help will allow us to keep the exhibitions open to the public for the full two months.Any availability and shifts will be agreed with the organisers.
