Exit 2 Montenegro announces competition for Montenegrin artists

The organization of the Exit 2 Montenegro festival announced that an open call is open for artists and creatives from Montenegro who want to become part of the realization of upcoming events, but also to achieve visibility, networking and professional connections with the regional and global creative community through this platform.

"The call is intended for authors, performers and creative teams whose work can become part of the festival program, the visual identity of the space and the overall audience experience. Through this competition, the organizers want to open a space for cooperation with local artists and creatives whose talent, authorial expression and ideas can contribute to the further development of the domestic scene," the statement explains.

"The goal of the EXIT 2 Montenegro platform is not only the realization of major events, but also a long-term contribution to the development of creative industries in Montenegro, the strengthening of the domestic art and author scene, as well as its stronger connection with the world. During the 25 years of EXIT, a large number of domestic authors in Serbia have made contacts with colleagues from abroad and built notable international careers precisely through such meetings, cooperation and festival projects," emphasized Dušan Kovačević, founder and director of the EXIT festival.
