Reclaim Award 2021

Cologne is becoming a public museum again in 2021.

Design it! Join in with the 3rd Reclaim Award and showcase your art to the public — on a large surface. 18/1 billboards become your exhibition space for 10 days. Replace advertising with your art and redesign public outdoor space. Advertising out — Art in!
In addition, exhibit excerpts from your portfolio at our festival event. We give you space to display small-format works, posters, books and cards. Become a part of the supporting program and get connected with other artists, curators and all who are interested in art. (Regulations and capacities to be determined by Covid-19 restrictions)
The Reclaim Collective, in partnership with this year’s jury, will be able to get about 44 artists onto 44 billboards during a big group show for 10 days in 2020. 44 billboards marked on a digital map and listed in an audio guide. All further information regarding the Award will be provided on a map, which will help you and the audience navigate seamlessly through the outdoor exhibition. 44 pieces of art. Completely free to the public!
