2026 Open Call: EVERYDAY ART in CMP INSPIRATION
About｜EDA ＠ CMP INSPIRATION ｜Summer Open Call
Since its founding in 2010, the CMP PUJEN Foundation for Arts and Culture has been committed to bringing art into public life. Through ongoing support for exhibitions, artistic creation, and educational initiatives, the Foundation seeks to make art more accessible and relevant to everyday experience.
Through the many exhibitions and programs we have presented, we have observed that artistic expression often stays within the art community, while the general public continues to see art as something separate from daily life.
From the launch of the EVERYDAY ART initiative by the CMP Group in 2013 to the opening of CMP INSPIRATION in the Calligraphy Greenway district in 2024, we have been exploring ways to weave art into everyday life.
In 2026, the CMP PUJEN Foundation for Arts and Culture and CMP INSPIRATION further elevate EVERYDAY ART through themed exhibitions and cross-sector collaborations.
We are now seeking artists who are not content with the status quo. We invite you and your work to disrupt daily routines—using art to intervene in everyday life, consumer culture, and public space.
This is not just an exhibition, nor simply an open call.
We aim to transform the entire district into a site where art enters daily life—where it becomes a cross-disciplinary practice that can be used, collected, and lived with.
EDA @ CMP INSPIRATION – Summer Open Call
Let art enter your home and extend across the entire district.
Annual Theme: BOOM ART! Art Without Limits
BOOM ART! Art Without Limits is not a slogan. It is a process unfolding in real time.
As art moves beyond the white cube and enters everyday life, consumer culture, and public streets, creation is no longer merely a finished display, but an ongoing process that collides with lived reality and inspires new ways of imagining life.
★ Limited-Time Only | Art Museum Mart
Co-curated by CMP INSPIRATION and FamilyMart, the 2026 Open Call is built around the concept of a limited-time “Art Museum Mart.” This bold experiment flips familiar roles: the art museum becomes a mart, while the mart transforms into an art museum—bringing art directly into everyday life.
In this experiment, the museum shifts from a one-way display space to a site shaped by audience choice. The convenience store moves beyond its role as a place for daily consumption to become an accessible gateway to art. When art appears among shelves, at checkout counters, and within everyday shopping decisions, viewing requires no special preparation. Your work becomes part of daily life, reshaping how people use, feel, and imagine the ordinary.
★ Cross-Disciplinary International Jury | Art × Brand × Cultural Practice
Your work may appear as an art object picked from store shelves, or as an urban image viewed by thousands. It will encounter real audiences, brands, and public spaces directly. In line with this cross-disciplinary approach, the jury brings together professionals from art, design, branding, fashion, and cultural practice, offering multiple perspectives on the possibilities of creation.
★ Large-Scale Project | Beyond the Museum, Across the Entire District
This is more than an open call, an exhibition opportunity, or a brand collaboration. It is a new mode of practice that connects creativity, culture, and everyday life. For artists, it offers a platform that can be amplified, discussed, and extended over time.
Art becomes visible through cross-boundary collision—and continues to unfold.
BOOM ART!
Art, Without Limits.
