“Resolutions” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline February 28, 2025

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

Personal resolutions can motivate us to change our behaviour and reach new goals. Higher resolution brings clarity to videos, peaceful resolution brings prosperity to clashing nations, formal resolutions bring change in stagnant organizations, the resolution of a plot solves a story’s main conflict, and New Year’s resolutions bring promise of a better year ahead. Share your RESOLUTIONS with words or images, in a realistic, abstract, surreal or unexpected way.

“Figures” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline December 31, 2024

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

Figures of human or animal form. Figures of life, imagination, history, mythology and allegory. In costume, in none. In lightness, in darkness. In dignity, in shame. Of everyday, of me, of you. Share your FIGURES with words or images, in a realistic, abstract, surreal or unique way.

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.  

“Floral” International Open Call to Artists and Writers—Deadline June 30, 2024

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

Florals paint our planet in ways that can captivate and heal. They represent a wide range of emotions and ideas, with red roses symbolizing love and white lilies representing new beginnings. We enjoy blossoms as hobbies, flavours, gifts, garnishes, perfume, careers, dyes, medicine and art. But they also have a dark side, with poisons that cause blisters, breathing difficulties and death. Uncover your perspective on FLORALS in a realistic, abstract, surreal or other unique way.

“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.
