Annual Magazine Edition Feature + Group Exhibition

Organisation:

Eligibility:

UAAD is pleased to announce our open call for our annual edition & immersive group exhibition, Alt-Alterity. Alt-Alterity explores alternative perspectives on “alterity” or “otherness”, which exist beyond the scope of what might be considered familiar or known, yet constitute the underlying narrative of planet Earth.

The annual edition and virtual exhibition will be made up of two parts: artwork (artists) and crafts (vendors), together creating spaces for critical discourse, engage a multigenerational and international group of artists, brands, and organizations, and bring the readers and viewers a truly transmedia experience curated with love, care, and respect for the artists as well as the land. Selected artists can also be featured in UAAD’s press releases on major news sites.

We invite artists of all genres and styles, encompassing born-digital creations and digitized renditions of traditional artworks. For sponsoring vendors (brands or organizations), we welcome all categories provided they share a harmonious design ethos or artistic expression aligned with eco-centrism, queerness, fluidity, avant-garde, and more.

Benefits:

  • In-depth Interview for The Print Edition & Front-Page Feature
    • Share your exclusive story in a professionally curated interview, reaching 103 countries and be featured on the front page in the "Weekly Highlight" section.
  • Immersive Virtual Group Exhibition
    • Participate in a highly anticipated virtual exhibition on newart.city, transcending traditional boundaries and reaching audiences beyond spatial limits.
  • Social Media Feature

  • Newsletter Promotion
    • Your interview will be spotlighted in our weekly newsletter, with over 6000 subscribers.

    • Leverage our online store to create a smooth purchasing experience for our visitors.
  • Mentions of Your Work Across Influential News Sites
    • Get published on our network of over 200 influential news sites that receive 28 million visitors every month for a boost in exposure and search rankings.

About the exhibition organizer and gallery partner:

Underground Art And Design was founded in October 2022 as an international media platform focused on empowering talented, change-provoking, and forward-thinking artists and designers through accessible information, resources, and a platform to show themselves.

Our gallery partner is New Art City, an online multiplayer exhibition space for digital art and performance.
