Blue Oyster is calling for Expressions of Interest!
This is open to visual artists, as well as musicians, poets, theatre makers, writers and other creatives! This process is different from the call for proposals we have done in the past.
This change is to make it easier to apply and will make our commissioning process more conversational. We want to know who is interested in developing new work with us; nau mai!
From these Expressions of Interest we will be putting together our 2026 programme of exhibitions, public programmes and choosing the artist for the 2025/2026 Summer Caselberg Residency, facilitated in collaboration with the Caselberg Trust!
The open call is ongoing, however to be considered for the 2026 programme please submit your Expression of Interest to us by 11:59pm on the 15th of November, 2025.
Please read the downloadable information below before you submit.
