“Future” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline February 29, 2024

The artist's and writer's call for the ArtAscent Art & Literature Journal Future is now open.  

The future is a canvas of endless possibilities, waiting to be painted by the choices we make today. It is a journey we embark upon with every passing moment, shaped by our dreams, aspirations, and actions. Is the future a world where technology has advanced beyond our control, the environment has been irreversibly modified, and other untold dangers lie in wait? Or is it full of hope and promise, offering us the chance to create a better tomorrow for ourselves and the world? Do tell.

ArtAscent is a theme-based publication and online exhibition that showcases artists and writers from around the world practising a broad range of skills, including painting, illustration, photography, mixed media, ceramics, sculpture, textile, jewelry, printmaking, digital graphics, fashion, film, video, installation, performance, story writing and poetry writing.  

The selected artists and writers, up to 40, will be published in our print and digital magazine and the two-year online exhibition, as well as receive a free digital copy of the magazine. Four will also receive a feature section with a profile written about them. All benefit from professional portfolio presentation to art lovers and engage our readers through our social media, website, and print and digital issues. ArtAscent provides the opportunity for the voices and visions of writers and artists to be shared in a professional and accessible platform.
