This call out is now closed.

What are we looking for?

Proposals for events, exhibitions and designs which respond to the festival’s 2022 theme of repair. The Open Call searches for visionary ideas and examples on how to repair: What are the practical, architectural, and social features of our communities in need of repair? How can new urban areas become more diverse and socially and environmentally sustainable?

AATE aims to encourage and develop other voices in event organisation, exhibition production, curation, writing and cultural leadership in Ireland to support our public programme - expanding the practice of architecture.

AATE is open to anyone with an interest in a progressive future for architecture and the built environment.

AATE recognises the positive value of a diverse production team reflective of our shared built environment. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all genders, backgrounds and abilities. Applicants need not have gone to university or be professionally qualified. Applicants must have an interest in architecture and the built environment and be based in Ireland. We especially welcome applications from those underrepresented in architecture and other disciplines associated with the built environment.

Proposals will be assessed by their innovation, feasibility and understanding of AATE’s programme, audiences and the locality of West Ireland.

What do we ask?

Working with close assistance from the AATE production team, and with a small self-directed budget of up to €2,000, AATE invites contributions from event producers/ arts organisations in submissions of new cultural work for the AATE Festival 2022 core programme in October, responding to this year’s thematic provocation of Repair.
