There’s no limit to what’s possible at Found 2026. We welcome pitches of all genres/disciplines and stages of development. For inspiration, here are a few things our curation team have in mind for 2026:

  • works that have undergone some development/have a history of production
  • projects that have an interactive component
  • projects with specific desired locations in Old Strathcona (a particular business, park, etc.)

Selected projects will receive an artist fee, production equipment and labour scaled to project needs, Festival infrastructure (marketing, box office, event management), and access to our staff’s experience and knowledge around site-specific art.

Applications are now open, find out more about festival opportunities here!
