“Abstract” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline April 30, 2024

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

Abstractions are all around us. Ideas can be abstract; existing as an idea, feeling or quality but not having a tangible existence. Some conversations can be abstract, vague and theoretical and not based on particular examples or facts. And of course, there is abstract art which evokes feelings without trying to realistically represent the appearance of people or things. Abstract art, like poetry, offers a fragment of a mysteriously familiar narrative without directly revealing it in a realistic way. Reveal your most ABSTRACT thoughts.

“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.

“Emotion” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline December 31, 2023

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

Emotion fills, lifts, erupts, freezes, floods, and empties us. Are we emotions, or are feelings simply impulses that appear and disappear from our consciousness? Does emotion take us to a higher plane of existence or simply along a preprogrammed path? What are we without these feelings? How do we express them? What in our environment triggers them? Are they contagious? Share your interpretation of what is or inspires EMOTION.

“Spring” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline May 31, 2023

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

The current issue theme is spring. The seasons pull us from one state to another, perhaps from frozen, hibernating and quiet to thawed, reborn, and growing. Sometimes our spring lets us embrace something new, fall into first love, or see fresh horizons. Spring brings birds, butterflies, frogs, nests, tulips and fragrant blossoms. What’s the seasonal impact in your world? What makes spring more tantalizing than winter or summer? Spring can be literal, abstract, emotional or intellectual; past, present or future; brief or lifelong. Express your spring with words or imagery.

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

 

The current issue theme is journey. We are all on a journey to another space. Sometimes our journey is an adventure, a quest, a road trip to push our limits or just to taste life’s pleasures. Other times it is to escape from what is to something better, to heal or find wholeness. What’s the destination? Is the destination more valuable than the path to it? Journeys can be physical, emotional or intellectual; past, present or future; brief or lifelong. Express your journey with words or imagery.
