XHBT® is an artist-first directory of open calls, residencies, grants, and competitions, alongside contemporary art galleries and exhibition schedules worldwide. Opportunities are collected daily from publicly available sources and sorted by submission deadline.
The platform serves artists, curators, researchers, and anyone engaged with contemporary art. Rather than tracking dozens of opportunity boards, gallery websites, and institution calendars, users can search open calls, venues, exhibition dates, and submission deadlines in one place, each with a direct link to the original source.
