Call for Art: Create! Magazine International Issue No. 57 The Artist's Studio

Create! Magazine Issue No. 57: The Artist's Studio
Curated by Tanner Steslow and Max Berman of Square One Gallery

Create! Magazine is pleased to announce the open call for our Spring 2026 print and digital issue. For this edition, we are looking past the four walls of a workspace to celebrate the heart of the creative life.

Curated by Tanner Steslow and Max Berman of Square One Gallery, Issue No. 57 explores the raw, intimate, and sometimes messy reality of being an artist. We are interested in the honesty of your practice and the authentic journey behind your finished work.

About the Theme

While the title is "The Artist's Studio," this is an open-ended call. We invite you to interpret the theme in the broadest sense possible. We are not looking for a specific subject or style; instead, we are looking for work that reflects the honest nature of your current practice.

All subjects and mediums are welcome. Whether your work explores your literal environment, the internal creative process, or simply represents the current focus of your "studio time," we want to see what you are creating now. We are seeking fresh, authentic voices that demonstrate a dedicated commitment to their craft.

Meet the Guest Curators: Square One Gallery

Based in St. Louis, Missouri, Square One Gallery is dedicated to transparency and artist advocacy. Curators Tanner Steslow and Max Berman believe that without the artist, there is no art.
