Open Call for New Media Artists in The United States and Canada

Delfina Foundation is pleased to announce a new open call for artists based in the United States and Canada whose practice centres on new media.

New media describes art made using digital technologies that have emerged since the late 1980s, including the internet, software, interactive systems, video, audio, and networked platforms. It encompasses both the production and distribution of art through digital means, and work that critically engages with the social and cultural implications of those technologies. New media is less defined by a single medium than by its relationship to computation, connectivity, and the conditions of contemporary life.

Generously supported by Lonti Ebers, this opportunity forms part of a new series of annual residencies in London for the next four years, delivered through separate open calls. This inaugural call is focused on new media artists based in the United States & Canada for a residency in winter 2027 (4 Jan to 25 March).

For more information about the open call and residency, please read the Guidance Notes document.

Application deadline: Monday, 11 May 2026, 23:59 BST
