“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.
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.
The selected artists and writers, up to 40, will be published in our print and digital magazine and the two-year online exhibition, as well as receive a free digital copy of the magazine. Four will also receive a feature section with a profile written about them. All benefit from professional portfolio presentation to art lovers and engage our readers through our social media, website, and print and digital issues. ArtAscent provides the opportunity for the voices and visions of writers and artists to be shared in a professional and accessible platform.
ArtAscent presents up to 100 high-level designed pages printed on premium-quality paper. This magazine issue is curated editorial content with no outside commercial ads.
Entries may include all art mediums that can be represented in 2D and written explorations of up to 1,800 words. We love diversity. Submissions must be the original work of the applicant(s). Creatives featured in the past can apply again with other works not previously published in ArtAscent. HOW TO APPLY: Apply using the online application form on our website. Application fees help cover costs such as design, writing, administration and artist promotion. NOTIFICATION: Notification is made by email to subscribers of the ArtAscent newsletter.
Installation Opportunity
INSTALLATION PROPOSAL
The InsideOut is an alternative art space located on 21st and I in midtown Sacramento. Consisting of three bay windows, the space is an extension of a ground floor apartment at the Flop Haus, a structural zeitgeist in the community. Since the entire space is viewed from the street, site-specific installations and projects have the potential to be viewed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The InsideOut promotes artistic collaboration, exploration and experimentation across a large spectrum of the art community.
Since The InsideOut is a not for profit art space, the focus will be on work that has no commercial viability. Artists retain all rights to their work and will receive an opportunity to experiment across disciplines, media, and personal boundaries in order to grow artistically and professionally. On the other hand, the public and greater community will have the chance to engage with art that takes risks, that looks at art for its possibilities not its conventions.
Eligibility
Local, regional, national and international artists working in any media over the age of 18 are eligible for application. However, since we cannot currently provide a stipend, consider costs associated with travel, food, installation expenses, etc. Modest living accommodations can be provided. The application process is free.
Proposal Criteria
Please submit the following via email to: Mehran Mesbah: mehr@the-insideout.org
Short introduction and motivation for your project:
Project proposal: What ideas or issues are you interested in? What would you like to learn more about through your artistic investigation? Please provide no more than (5) images exploring your proposed visual ideas. These can be drawings, altered photos, video, etc. We encourage artists to take risks and to explore unfamiliar territory. Are their gaps in knowledge, of materials, of processes, or direction? Try to foresee possible issues and describe briefly how you will address them or use them to your advantage. Artists should also provide detailed information about how the work will be installed. Link to website if available.
Submission Materials

SCG Residency: National Call to Artists
Placer Community Foundation (PCF) is a nonprofit public benefit corporation which manages the Susan Cooley Gilliom Artist in Residence & Teaching Program (SCG ART Program). In partnership with PCF the program is housed through Blue Line Arts in Roseville, CA.
The SCG ART program brings established artists to Placer County for the purpose of teaching and sharing their artistic talents and experience to the greater community. The program was lovingly established at PCF in memory of a local artist, Susan Cooley Gilliom, by her family. Both Susan and her mother took part in workshops from established and talented artists. They appreciated the perspective and expertise it offered their own work and wanted similar opportunities afforded to local artists, art students, art educators and art enthusiasts in Susan’s hometown and county.
