Identity

Collect Art is thrilled to invite artists to a new international open call, in which applicants are invited to explore the theme of IDENTITY and its many possible meanings. In a world ruled by the law of appearance, of social media, of globalization, what is the value of our personal fingerprint, taste, history, thoughts? What better than art can portray the singularity of one soul, or the risk of it being broken apart by the dominance of standardization? Open to artists worldwide, aged 18 and above, working in various media, including painting, drawing, collage, installation, illustration, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, assemblage, fiber art, paper art, printmaking, 3D digital art, glass art, metalwork, and more. The theme of the online exhibition & edition is Identity. We encourage artists from all backgrounds and visual disciplines to depict either their most personal, authentic artistic representation of their “self”, or their own interpretations of “identity”, whatever aspect of it resonates the most with their uniqueness. What is it that defines your condition today, as an artist, as a human, as a part of your community or as an individual detached from it? Selected artists will have the privilege of being showcased in a month-long online exhibition and will receive a 2-6 page spread in both print and digital magazines. This feature will include a biography, an artist statement, an interview, a website link, and 2-10 featured artworks. Moreover, all published artists will receive a complimentary digital issue of the magazine, which will be actively promoted on our website and social media platforms. Additionally, artists will receive a link to order the printed version of the magazine. Moreover, the curatorial team will select a few exceptional artists for inclusion in their upcoming book edition titled '101 Contemporary Artists and More...'
