About OpenCall Radar
OpenCall Radar exists so working artists stop losing opportunities to deadlines they never saw. We curate open calls, residencies, grants and prizes from 30+ sources and surface the ones that fit your practice — grouped by urgency.
Who we serve
Practicing visual artists, photographers, filmmakers, sound artists, and interdisciplinary practitioners — people who are actively applying to calls and need a single, trustworthy surface instead of bookmarking 12 tabs. Our users are mid-career and emerging artists in Europe and North America for whom a single missed deadline can mean a year of lost momentum.
How it works
- 01
We curate
We review 30+ sources — residency databases, grant portals, artist-run listings, national councils — and shape each listing into a clean, comparable entry: deduplicated, categorized by discipline, tagged with deadline urgency.
- 02
You tune, once
During onboarding you tell us your practice, career stage, fee tolerance and regions. That 2-minute setup drives every match you see afterwards — no infinite filter tweaking.
- 03
You act, before the deadline
Daily Picks surface the most relevant calls in your dashboard. Opportunities are grouped "Closing soon / This month / Later" so urgency is obvious at a glance. Subscribers get the full list; free users get a preview.
