Fashion Designers & Upcycling Artists – Open Call

NICOLA Arts is seeking fashion designers, upcyclers, textile artists and creative makers to join our new sustainable fashion initiative across our London community shops.

We are looking for designers interested in:
• Upcycling second-hand clothing into unique, wearable pieces
• Customising garments through painting, printing, embroidery, patchwork or reconstruction
• Developing capsule collections using recycled materials
• Collaborating with an emerging creative network
• Showcasing and selling their work in a public-facing retail space
• Gaining portfolio experience within a community-led arts organisation

Green Product Award Fashion

On 22.7.23 sustainable individual products and capsule collections will be honoured for the first time with the Green Product Award Fashion at Neonyt Düsseldorf.

The project is a cooperation between Igedo Exhibitions (organizer of Neonyt Düsseldorf licensed by Messe Frankfurt Exhibition GmbH) and the Green Future Club, which has been organizing the Green Product Awards for 10 years. 

Small labels and established brands can apply in the categories clothing, industrial solutions, shoes, bags and accessories until 16 June.

Open Call: Sustainable Studio Practice

This residency has been established as a safe space where you can develop a project focusing on the topic of sustainability within your artistic practice. It doesn’t have to be built around the production of art – quite the opposite: we are looking for art thinking projects that provide a new approach to studio practice in times of climate crisis. You will be working in a temporary community which will include artists from around the world. What most interests us is sustainability as a method, not as a subject. Our overall goal is to prepare a manual for sustainable studio practice which we can use in the future.
