“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.
