ERIE, PA, UNITED STATES, April 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FEED Media Art Center, in partnership with Erie Art Company, is thrilled to announce a global call for digital artists to participate in OPEN FEED 2025. Our first call for entries This exciting initiative includes both exhibition opportunities and a unique onsite residency program, inviting artists to explore and present their work within the dynamic landscape of media arts.

This program offers media artists a dedicated period to prototype and finalize artworks utilizing FEED’s exceptional resources. Residents will have access to large-scale studio and exhibition spaces within a historic century old building, as well as FEED’s unique collection of digital and analog tools and technologies. The residency fosters interaction with the public, participation in community events, connections with other artists and cultural organizations, and provides pairing with a local artist for assistance. Submissions are encouraged from artists at all career stages and across all disciplines.
