Without Walls, a consortium of 30+ festivals and arts organisations, is inviting submissions of new outdoor work from artists and companies, for touring next year.

Projects are particularly welcomed from or led by global majority artists, Deaf, disabled and neurodiverse artists and LGBTIQA+ artists.

The artistic directorate responsible for artistic programming will assess ideas from all disciplines and genres, though work which encompasses environmental responsibility or takes an innovative approach to access or can be developed or presented in collaboration with communities will meet programme priorities.

Without Walls director Ralph Kennedy said, "as a network, Without Walls is dedicated to commissioning and touring works of all scales and genres that push the boundaries of art in public spaces. With a strong commitment to accessibility, we have taken steps to ensure that this open call is our most inclusive yet."

Those interested in making a submission may wish to attend the online Q&A at 11AM on 23 June. The session will be captioned and BSL-interpreted.

Further details are available online; the deadline for submissions is 12 noon on 14 July.
