About the publication
Women in Arts Magazine is a print publication. Issue 01 will feature fifty women artists selected through this open call. Each artist is published with her artworks, biography and artist statement, and listed in the index of artists with her country, medium, website and Instagram.
The theme is open: submit up to three works that best represent your current practice. All visual mediums are accepted, and the call is open to women artists aged 18 and over in any country and at any stage of their career.
The winner of the $500 Women in Arts Magazine Award receives a 4-page spread and a published interview in the issue.
