As you know, we are never tired of traveling, so after our trips to Berlin, Thessaloniki, Eindhoven, Milan, Dublin and Brussels, we have no other option but to announce a new destination,we are really sorry, but we can't help it. Our Collagistas Festival is back for the 7th year in a row and this time we are visiting Spain!

City: MADRID
Dates: 3-6/September/2020

If you want to apply in this festival you have to:

Be able to travel to Madrid on the mentioned dates.
Make one brand new artwork of collage never shown before on the internet or in any gallery, max size: 40cm x 40cm under the theme “Re- Evolution”.

Collagistas Festival is organized by artists for artists. It is an annual celebration of contemporary collage art and not just another one collage exhibition. It’s about collage artists who meet each other once a year, share ideas and thoughts about their collage practice and organize workshops, installations, presentations and more. Each selected artist pays 50€ to participate. That money goes to: a full color catalogue, pr stuff, cards, posters, flyers, advertisements, website, photographer, materials we need when building the exhibition, materials for the workshops, payment of the people who will work for the exhibition,etc
The final selection will be announced on April 30th. Good luck!

Hola! Con respecto a la consigna “re-evolution”: ¿es completamente libre la interpretación del término? ¿O pueden brindar más especificaciones? Pregunto “just in case”
Gracias y saludos !

OMG! I have just discovered your call... I live in Madrid. Would it be still possible to apply? Maybe because of covid-19 deadline have been moved... I would be so happy!

Thanking you in advance...

Dear artists and attendees of Collagistas Festival
We really tried to stay positive through this coronavirus pandemic but we honestly don’t know how things are going to be this September.
Spain has announced a four-phase plan to lift its stringent coronavirus lockdown and return to a "new normality" by the end of June. This means that we won’t have the freedom nor the time to prepare the festival as wewould like to. We also don’t know if this “new normality” will allow our meeting to take place as we wish.
As you all know the Collagistas Festival is about being together, sharing our ideas and inspirations about collage. It is totally opposite to social distancing.
With this in mind, we havedecided to cancel the event for this year.
We really want to thank all the artists who applied for the 7th edition.
We will be back!
In the meantime keep making collage, keep making art!
Collagistas team
