Artists spend more time hunting than making work.

Callisto is an art career studio in your pocket — not another wall of listings. It finds the grants, residencies, open calls and competitions actually worth your time — 12,400+ live calls from 800+ institutions — scores each one against your practice, drafts the application straight from your CV, builds that CV with you, and makes sure no deadline slips past. The listings are the easy part; what Callisto really does is move your career forward. On iOS, Android and Telegram.

Working visual artists at every stage — from your first residency to your fiftieth grant. Painters, photographers, sculptors, digital and new-media artists, performance and sound artists. No CV yet? The CV builder starts you from zero — Callisto is often the tool that gets an artist their first real application out the door, not just their fiftieth.

Yes, free to start — and free stays useful: browse opportunities, save the calls that speak to you, and track every deadline in one place. Pro is what turns Callisto from a place you look into a studio that works for you: the full feed with your Fit Score on every card, deep AI fit scans, application drafts from your CV, and Clio, your career advisor. Exact pricing is always shown in the App Store and Google Play before you commit.

From the institutions themselves — foundations, residencies, galleries, museums, municipal and national arts funds — curated by hand and refreshed daily across 60+ countries. We aggregate open calls, never artists: no scraping your data, no ad networks, no selling your attention. If a call is in Callisto, it's because a real institution is offering it and it cleared our checklist — not because someone paid to be there.

A 0–100 match between an opportunity and your practice — read from your medium, geography, career stage and eligibility — with the reasoning laid out factor by factor, so you see why it fits, not just a number. Need to go deeper on a specific call? A Deep AI Fit Scan reads both sides in detail — eligibility check, specific reasons, and an honest apply / apply-with-caveats / skip call. The score needs a CV to run; the more Callisto knows about your practice, the sharper it gets.

No — and that's on purpose. Clio drafts, you decide. Nothing is ever submitted on your behalf: every application leaves your hands only when you send it, including Callisto Originals. Your voice stays yours; Callisto just makes sure it lands on time and reads its best.

Artists and curators — people who lived this problem before they built the fix. Founder Kirill Pobedin has curated exhibitions in 25+ countries; creative direction is by artist Nikita Replyanski. The same team runs Bali Art Residency and produces Callisto Originals — so the standards we hold the feed to are the standards we hold ourselves to.

Our own residencies, exhibitions, open calls and grants, produced with partner galleries and institutions. They're held to the exact same anti-predatory checklist we apply to every call in the feed — no fee traps, no rights grabs, no vague terms. We don't get to grade ourselves on an easier curve than we grade everyone else.

Your CV and your drafts stay yours — full stop. EU hosting, in-app account deletion, no ad networks, no tracking cookies (our analytics are cookieless). You can delete your account from inside the app, and it's gone. Full privacy policy linked below.

Clio is Callisto's AI career advisor — and it actually knows you. It reads your CV, your saved calls and your tracker to surface the opportunities that fit, drafts statements and applications, and answers career questions grounded in how the art world actually works rather than generic AI guesses. Clio never submits anything for you, and you can see — and erase — everything it remembers.

Pro is $7.99/month or $59.99/year. Prices can vary by region and store, so the exact figure is always shown in the App Store and Google Play before you subscribe — no surprises at checkout.

Residencies, grants, open calls, exhibitions, competitions, fellowships, commissions, public art and biennials — from 800+ institutions across 60+ countries, refreshed daily. Whatever moves an art career forward, it's here — and only if it's real.

Every call is screened against an anti-predatory checklist: entry fees weighed against real prizes, rights grabs, jury transparency, unclear terms. Calls that fail get flagged or dropped — and Callisto Originals are held to the exact same standard. In a field full of pay-to-play traps, “we checked” is the whole point.

In the Callisto Library — an open reference on the working parts of an art career. Forty guides across eight shelves on what the conventions actually are, who set them, and where they disagree. Free, no account, no paywall — including for artists who never install the app.
