Open call announcement 2026

Rupert is undergoing an exciting transition over the coming months as we relocate to our new home in the center of Vilnius.

Along with the physical change, our team is also updating the structure of our residency programme to suit these new surroundings. Therefore, we decided to postpone our annual residency open call for the time being.

However, you can still apply for Rupert residencies now! There are two current open calls:

Alterlife, a joint research and production residency in 2026 with Sonic Acts, Amsterdam (deadline 17 August)

BMWKMS International Studio Program, a residency in 2027 for Austria-based artists (deadline 30 September)

Until we announce our new residency structure, Rupert will publicise any additional open call opportunities through our website, email newsletter, and social media channels.
