Within the framework of the European Capital of Culture Trenčín 2026 project, the Creative Institute Trenčín announces an art-architectural competition. The aim of the competition is to show the potential of the underpass, to improve its overall impression for pedestrians, and at the same time to use this specific public space for the presentation of the activities of Trenčín 2026.

APPLY HERE -- https://www.charleville-mezieres.fr/le-parcours-rimbaud -- €4,000-9,000 Since 2015, the City of Charleville-Mézières has commissioned artists to create urban artwork on the city's walls. These creations, which combine text and illustrations, are aimed at the entire population and highlight Rimbaud's work without the barriers of books or museums. The murals created help to fill the gap in reference to Rimbaud's work within the historical tour and, above all, to make the texts of the Caropolitan poet visible to as many people as possible. These works are aimed at all audiences, Rimbaldians but also non-specialists who are initially attracted by the artistic project and who will then be able to go and discover the rest of Rimbaud's works. This "Rimbaud tour" also aims to introduce tourists to little-known areas of the city. The applications must be sent to the following address : Ville de Charleville-Mézières Service musées et archives municipales PARCOURS RIMBAUD Mairie, place du Théâtre CS 40490 08109 Charleville-Mézières Cedex Or by email to: musees@mairie-charlevillemezieres.fr
