The curators want work that engages t he spirit of jugaad either as subject (everyday intelligences of getting b y\, lateral logics of adaptation\, unlikely workarounds\, reinvention born of necessity) or in how it was made (found or repurposed materials\, adap ted processes\, structures built to solve a specific constraint). Work tha t came from adjustment rather than access\, problem-solving rather than bu dget. WHAT: zines\, artist books\, comics\, risograph or photocopied print s\, posters\, foldables\, instruction manuals\, packaging and other small- format works\; if it can travel in a suitcase it is probably in scope. No framed work or anything needing gallery-standard installation. Gen-AI imag es and text are not accepted. WHO: artists\, designers\, writers and colle ctives whose practice genuinely engages with the theme\; if unsure\, reach out and explain in a line or two. Selected work must reach the Netherland s by end of September 2026. TERMS: selections made on a rolling basis 5 Au gust to 5 September\; selected work is sold at the fair (9-10 October\, Am sterdam) on mutually agreeable commission terms\, with payment within 30 d ays of each sale and unsold work returned after the consignment period. HO W TO APPLY: email info@mamamagnet.org with a CC to art@sacartamsterdam.com \, subject line 'JUGAAD - [Your Contribution]'\, by 5 September 2026\; ear lier is better given rolling selection.\n\nOrganisation: SAC Art Amsterdam and Mama Magnet\nLocation: Fair takes place 9-10 October 2026 in Amsterda m. Open internationally\, but selected work must be shipped to the Netherl ands by the end of September 2026 at the artist's expense.\nAward: No appl ication fee.

Rounds run three times a year in fixed windows\; the next opens 1 S eptember and closes at 17:00 on 30 September 2026\, which is round 1 of th e 2027 cycle. TIMING: the decision lag is long by municipal standards at u p to 13 weeks after the submission window closes\, so a September 2026 app lication is decided around the end of December 2026 and activity should be planned for 2027. Given Eindhoven's design and technology profile\, media -art\, design and creative-technology programming fits the remit particula rly well.

Note the wider 2026 context: Stimuleringsfonds is restructuring its grant offe ring for 2027\, and several individual schemes (Design\, Digital Culture) have been reduced to two rounds in 2026.

The inviting foreig n party must cover a proportionate share of the costs. Covers hourly fees\ , travel and accommodation directly related to the activity. IMPORTANT TIM ING RULE: applications are accepted from 5 months to a minimum of 7 weeks before the activity begins\, and processing takes about 6 weeks. This lead time can rule out activities that fall shortly after a round opens. Round 2 (4 May to 22 June 2026) has closed. Round 3 runs 8 September 2026 15:00 CEST to 27 October 2026 16:00 CEST\, with a budget of EUR 33\,000\; given the 7-week rule it effectively serves activities starting from late Octob er 2026 onwards. IMPORTANT PREREQUISITE: you must already have had an appl ication to the Fund positively assessed within the past five years\, and a previous voucher does not satisfy this\, so this is not a viable first ap proach to the Fund.

They want an artist\, writer\, poet\, anthropologist or artistic re searcher whose existing practice already engages with type design\, typogr aphy\, writing systems\, visual language\, fonts and letterforms\, languag e technologies\, or the tools that shape how language is produced\, read o r translated. This is an unusually good fit for anyone working on the mach ine-readable side of language: the brief explicitly names language technol ogies and translation tooling alongside classical type design. ELIGIBILITY : individual practitioners with demonstrable work in one or more of the li sted areas. HOW TO APPLY: the studio asks for relevant work\, research\, p ublications or projects connected to type\, fonts\, writing systems\, visu al language or the tools that shape them\, and nothing else. Because the d eadline is tight they say Instagram DM is the fastest route\; you can also email a short introduction and one relevant project to office@glina3.nl. NOTE: the fee is confirmed only if the project's own funding comes through \, so clarify terms before committing time.\n\nOrganisation: GLINA3\nLocat ion: Amsterdam\, Netherlands (studio is Amsterdam-based\; collaboration te rms not specified)\nAward: Paid collaboration. The studio states the fee w ill be confirmed upon successful funding\, so the amount is contingent and not published up front.
