Museum of Contemporary Tattoos

Open Call for Artists — 2026 Program

The Museum of Contemporary Tattoos is selecting artists for its 2026 international exhibition program.

The museum operates five permanent AR monuments in public space — at Lustgarten, Berlin; Tate Modern, London; MOT, Tokyo; Guggenheim, New York; and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Each monument presents one artist at a time, for a dedicated period, as part of a continuous rotating program visible across all five cities simultaneously.

Who We’re Selecting

  • Tattoo artists who approach their work as art, not service.
  • Artists who understand tattooing as a medium capable of holding memory, presence, and cultural meaning.
  • Practitioners from any country whose work speaks across cultural contexts.

What You’ll Be Part Of

  • Your work exhibited simultaneously across five AR monuments in Berlin, London, Tokyo, New York, and Amsterdam.
  • A dedicated feature on the museum’s website and international social channels.
  • Participation in the on-chain auction, operated by the Museum of Contemporary Tattoos. All sales are processed transparently on the blockchain, with proceeds transferred directly to the artist.
  • Permanent inclusion in the museum’s blockchain-native collection.

How to Apply

Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis from artists worldwide. Selected artists are announced on the museum’s website and notified directly.
