Application for an exhibition at Møstings

Møstings is an exhibition space in Denmark dedicated to contemporary art, where artists with either a formal art education or documented professional experience in artistic work can apply to exhibit.

Open Call for the exhibition program 2027 is closed.

Thank you for all applications. We will announce the deadline for the exhibition program 2028 in December.

Møstings invites professional artists to propose an exhibition concept for the first floor of the exhibition space. Both newly graduated and experienced artists working across different media are encouraged to apply. We do not accept applications from artists who are enrolled in an art academy in 2027.

The Frederiksberg Museums work actively to present a diverse exhibition program featuring a wide range of media, created by artists of different ages, genders, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

Process and program

The artistic leadership of the Frederiksberg Museums is responsible for reviewing all applications and making the final selection. Before the exhibition program for the year is finalized, selected artists will be invited to a dialogue about their exhibition proposal with the aim of elaborating on the application and strengthening potential collaboration.
