True/False Film Festival 2025 is calling for visual artists to apply for a five-week virtual artist residency, resulting in solo installations which will transform unconventional film venues throughout the town of Columbia, USA, in a celebration of artists, films, and music.
True/False is looking for emerging and mid-career artists and encourages applications from artists who may identify as underrepresented in the traditional art world (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and parents/caregivers).
The virtual residency will provide visual artists a platform for cultural exchange, networking, and creative exploration, allowing artists to connect and collaborate regardless of geographical constraints, culminating in an in-person exhibition of their art installations during the 2025 True/False Film Fest, 27 February to 2 March 2025. In 2025, the art and design theme for True/False is ALL THE TIME. Accepted artists are not required to attend in person and they accept proposals from anywhere in the world.
Selected artists will meet online for a weekly two-hour group session starting in November 2024. These sessions will focus on developing community and connection, adding to participants’ knowledge about the current art world, and supporting the delivery of the art installation for True/False. Artists will also meet with the Art Curator, Production, Operations, and Tech Teams. True/False will have professional artists and curators join the weekly sessions to speak to participants about the art world and art opportunities.
True/False provides the following:
- Weekly online sessions
- Exhibition/Art Installation for the duration of the Fest
- 1,000 USD Artist Stipend for each Art Installation
- Additional shipping/travel and/or material costs up to 500 USD
- Artist Pass to the Festival if required (in person attendance during the Fest is not mandatory for the installation or residency)
- Local press and spotlight on the website and social media
