This is call for any non-Swedish Nordics out there who would like to come to Sweden to exhibit. We are seeking:
- 3 artists or group of artists for exhibitions at the Big Love gallery during October of 2005 and January and May of 2006.
- In addition we are also looking for speakers for the months of August - November 2005 and February - May of 2006. Speakers must have relevant work in art, design or new media.

To be eligible for exhibiting or speaking, submissions must be sent by artists, designers, or creative people from Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Norway or any of the Baltic States. We are especially interested in emerging artists focusing on new media, mixed media, installation, street art, and basically, anything super fresh, new, inspiring, and original… please blow our minds! You do not have to be an established artist. In fact, we encourage participation from those that aren’t!

Please note that exhibitions will last up to three weeks during the months of October, January, and May. Speakers will be asked to give a one-hour talk together with a Swedish artist and/or designer. With support from the Nordic Culture Fund, there is funding available to go towards travel and accommodation.
