You’ve been waiting for it: the OPEN CALL 2026 is here

The OPEN CALL! by MTN is here, the second International Call for Cultural Sponsorships for 2026.

This initiative aims to support innovative and transformative projects that promote the knowledge and practice of graffiti, urban art, and street art on a global scale. Since its beginnings, Montana Colors has been closely linked to the development of graffiti and urban art as legitimate cultural expressions, consistently supporting projects and initiatives that drive these movements worldwide.

In this context, and understanding creativity as a driver of social change, MTN strengthens its role not only as a supplier of materials, but also as an active cultural agent. Therefore, we are launching a second international call open to organizations, collectives, and non-profit entities from anywhere in the world that develop projects related to graffiti and urban art, in formats such as publications, audiovisual works, festivals, or exhibitions.

With the OPEN CALL! by MTN, we reaffirm our commitment to the preservation, dissemination, and evolution of graffiti and street art culture, promoting initiatives that reflect its diversity, social impact, and capacity to challenge conventions, connect communities, and imagine new ways of seeing the world from the street.
