Submit for the US Exhibition at the 2027 Prague Quadrennial — US Exhibition at the 2027 Prague Quadrennial
Overview
The Prague Quadrennial is among the most significant international platforms for scenography and performance design, convening national exhibitions, juried projects, and discourse around the material and spatial conditions of theatre. The US exhibition for PQ '27 is now open to submissions, inviting designers to put forward realized theatrical work from the past four years that demonstrates their strongest creative vision. This is a juried selection process, not an open showcase; the exhibition team will determine which submitted works represent the national presentation. The call is addressed to practitioners whose work has already been realized in production—designs that have moved from proposal to stage. The four-year window situates the submission within a recent body of work, allowing the jury to assess a sustained practice rather than a single project. Submissions are evaluated by a jury, and the resulting US exhibition will represent the country within the Quadrennial's international framework. For the selected designers, participation entails inclusion in the US exhibition at PQ '27, with the attendant visibility among an international audience of scenographers, directors, scholars, and producers. The curatorial emphasis falls on creative vision as evidenced in realized design, rather than on unrealized concepts or speculative work. The deadline is listed as 2027-07-06, though the source data flags this date as conflicting; applicants should verify the deadline directly with the organizing body before relying on it.
