CAST 2026 Call For Works
CAST (Contemporary Art & Sound Technologies) is a new platform dedicated to supporting experimental creators working at the intersection of sound, music, and visual media. Our mission is to foster bold, interdisciplinary work by connecting emerging and established artists with innovative institutions, professional resources, and collaborative opportunities. Through performances, workshops, and mentorship, CAST aims to cultivate a vibrant community where contemporary art and technology converge, offering artists space to explore, experiment, and share their work with engaged audiences.
CAST is now accepting project proposals from sound/music and video artists for our inaugural 2026 season. Submissions are open until September 5th. We are seeking innovative, experimental artists to develop new works over a week of workshops and rehearsals in Austin from March 23rd to March 27th, and a unique performance opportunity on Saturday, March 28th at dadaLab in Austin, TX.
Up to 8 composers and 8 visual artists will be selected and have the opportunity to work with local Austin Institutions – dadaLab, Soundmap Ensemble, and Line upon Line Percussion. Selected participants will be paired to create a team with one composer and one visual artist to develop a collaborative work. Alternatively, one artist could apply to do both – visual and audio content.
