This is a call for visual artists to apply for a four week virtual artist residency, resulting in four art installations which will transform the outdoor footprint in the city of Columbia MO, USA in a celebration of film, music, and art for True/False Film Fest 2026.
We are looking for emerging and mid-career artists and encourage applications from artists who may identify as underrepresented in the traditional art world (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and parents/caregivers).
The virtual residency will provide our 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 2026 True/False Film Fest.
We welcome questions at any and all points during the application process; please feel free to contact our Art Installations Curator at sarahn@truefalse.org
The application deadline is September 15th, 2025. Submit materials here.
