For each catalogue edition, up to six artists are selected for detailed curatorial review essays, written by the curator. 

How to apply:​

2. Provide a *letter of interest explaining why you desire to be published with a curatorial review.​ 

*The letter of interest should be of minimum 200 words with no length limit in PDF format. Additionally, the letter of interest should be focused on just explaining why you want to be published with a curatorial review by Aedra Fine Arts Publishing and should not be a summary of your CV, biography, or artist statement.    

The curatorial review articles are observational essays which focus on an analysis of the artists' work and accomplishments as well as providing insight into their process and potential audience interpretations.

Artist Feature Catalogue articles are published on the AFA website at https://www.aedrafinearts.com/catalogue , Substack page at https://aedrafinearts.substack.com , and in linen wrap hardcover book editions. 

What is 'the catalogue'?

The AFA Catalogue is not a magazine but rather a collection of scholarly essays published in a hardcover artbook format as well as presented digitally in a manner similar to an exhibition catalogue. Only prize winners from AFA edition competitions are included in all formats of the catalogue, digitally and in print. The catalogue includes artists who have works in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Artists included in the catalogue have also been critically published by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, National Geographic, Financial Times, and The Guardian. There are also quite a few artists in the catalogue who are represented by some of the most respected galleries in the world. AFA editions include notable award achievers such as National Endowment for the Arts and Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant recipients as well as International Photography Awards (IPA) winners. 

*​​​​​AFA does not accept Instagram links or portfolios made with artificial intelligence.
