What: The Blue Night 2025
Where: in Nuremberg‘s Old Town at art venues, in courtyards, on squares and streets or in institutions. Nuremburg is a city in Germany with a lot of medieval history; Albrecht Dürer lived here.

Concept:
* Presentation of art projects during THE BLUE NIGHT differs from that in a museum or gallery: “hanging something on the wall” or “putting something in a room” isn’t appropriate. Submissions of paintings or sculptures which need to be shown in a traditional exhibition cannot be considered.
* It should be noted that an art project has to work for four (preview on Friday) or five hours (Saturday). This is important, for example, for performances that may have to be shown several times. Breaks between performances are possible but must be kept relatively short.
* Visitor streams must be taken into account in the planning process.
* It gets completely dark only after 9.30 p.m.
Theme: “Love and Peace”
Royalties:
* €1500 € (plus applicable VAT);
* At maximum €4500 € for the realization of the work (incl VAT). Costs such as travel, accommodation, meals, transportation, etc. are included in this total;

Background: In 2000, The Blue Night (Die Blaue Nacht) was held for the first time to mark Nuremberg’s 950th anniversary. The aim was to present art and culture to the citizens in an unusual setting and at an unusual time. The annual event has become Germany’s largest and most diverse Long Night of Art and Culture. It is organized by the Department of Cultural Affairs in the City of Nuremberg.
