To kick off the new Dream Ball, we’re asking for ideas that fit our theme of “A Masquerade of Your Wildest Dreams”.

We are looking for artists to submit proposals to take over the design and execution of our smaller immersive spaces outside the event’s main ballroom (Studios 11, 12, 13, and 14). By participating in the Open Call, you have a chance to help make the renewed Dream Ball better than ever.
