The Palette of Place 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists to explore The Palette of Place through their own creative perspective. Consider how a location can evoke emotion, identity, culture, history, or belonging.

The theme of the online exhibition & edition is 'The Palette of Place.'

Every place carries its own visual language—a unique palette of colors, textures, light, architecture, landscapes, and memories that shape our connection to the world. Whether inspired by a bustling city, a quiet village, a dramatic coastline, or an imagined landscape, places leave lasting impressions that become part of our personal and collective stories.

Flow 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists to explore the theme of the Flow, whatever the word means to you as an artist and personally speaking. Your work may show how human emotions are conveyed in the flow of art, and how art is conveyed through the flow of life.

The theme of the online exhibition & edition is Flow.

A river, a ray of pure energy, a stream of consciousness, a brushstroke of paint… Every movement flows towards a new or different condition. Should an artist follow the flow of society? Or rather move away 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.

Future 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists to explore the theme of the Future.

We can remember the past. We can live the present. But future can only be envisioned and reached (or not). Future is, in a way, the time that is most similar to art. It only exists in our mind, at first.

The theme of the online exhibition & edition is Future.

Artists are requested to portray a glimpse of the future, in whatever form it comes to mind. A corner of a futuristic place. A word that is not yet spoken. A form of art that has not yet been invented. A reflection that breaks the wall of time. A prediction that waits to be unveiled. A projection beyond the “here and now”. How can art depict the time everyone and everything is headed to, and yet there is no certainty or awareness about 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.

Music 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists and musicians to explore the theme of Music.Music is often considered the most visceral form of Art. There is no story, era, ritual, thought, emotion that can not be mirrored to music. It is a very artistic pulse of our lives. Music can be expressed and experienced in endless forms, day by day, moment by moment, and yet, it is unexplainable. It is at everyone's fingerprints, and yet unattainable.

In this Special Edition of our magazine, we welcome submissions across various disciplines: painting, drawing, collage, installation, textile, assemblage, fiber art, paper art, printmaking, 3D art, digital Art, glass art, metalwork and more...

Open to artists and musicians (producers and composers) worldwide, aged 18 and above.

The Theme pf the edition - Music

Whether your work captures the pulse of performance, the intimacy of listening, the poetry of silence, or the harmony between image and sound, or music is your muse, we want to experience your unique interpretation. We would love to see how your works capture the importance of this unseen thread connecting people across languages, cultures and generations.

Each participant will receive a 2-6 page spread in print and digital magazines including a biography, statement, interview, QR code linked to their website and/or social media, and 2-10 featured artworks.

Collect Art is pleased to announce our international open call dedicated exclusively to Oil Painting.

From the luminous glazes of the Northern Renaissance and the dramatic chiaroscuro of the Baroque era to the bold, expressive brushwork of Impressionism and modern abstraction, oil painting stands as one of the most transformative mediums in art history. For centuries, it has offered artists unrivaled depth, richness of color, and versatility, allowing them to capture both the subtle textures of reality and the boundless landscapes of human imagination.

Open to visual artists worldwide, aged 18 and above, working in oil paintings.

There is no theme for this edition.

With this open call, we invite contemporary artists from around the globe to explore the expressive potential of this timeless, historical medium and show how it continues to evolve today.

Landscapes & Seascapes 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists to explore the theme of Landscapes & Seascapes.

From vast natural horizons and dramatic coastlines to intimate views of familiar places, landscapes have long served as a source of inspiration, reflection, memory, and imagination. They can document a particular place while also expressing something deeply personal—an emotion, atmosphere, memory, or state of mind.

For this edition, we invite artists to explore the landscape and seascape in all its forms. We are interested not only in traditional representations of nature, but also in abstract, conceptual, imagined, urban, atmospheric, and emotionally interpreted environments.

How do we experience a landscape? What memories does a place hold? How does the sea evoke freedom, solitude, movement, or mystery? How can an artist transform a physical environment into an emotional or imagined space?

Artists may explore subjects including natural landscapes, seascapes, mountains, forests, rivers, coastlines, oceans, lakes, deserts, gardens, rural environments, urban landscapes, imagined places, changing environments, and abstract interpretations of nature and place.

We are also interested in works that consider themes of memory and place, climate and nature, human connection to the environment, solitude and belonging, movement and stillness, horizons, journeys, transformation, and the passage of time.

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 encompass a biography, artist statement, interview, website link, and 2-10 featured artworks.

Street Photography 🟢

Collect Art invites photographers to submit their work for a special edition of our magazine and accompanying online exhibition with a theme of 'Street Photography'

The street is an ever-changing stage where ordinary moments become extraordinary stories. Every city, neighbourhood, corner, and passing encounter holds its own rhythm, revealing fragments of everyday life, human relationships, movement, solitude, coincidence, and unexpected beauty.

For this edition, we invite photographers to capture the spontaneous, authentic, and unpredictable moments of life in public spaces. We are interested in images that go beyond simple documentation and offer a personal perspective on the world around us.

Everyday life and candid moments, People and human interaction, Urban environments and city life, Architecture and the relationship between people and space, Light, shadow, and reflections, Movement and stillness, Unexpected encounters and coincidences, Social and cultural narratives, Solitude and connection, Urban landscapes, Humor, irony, and spontaneity, Patterns, geometry, and visual rhythm, The unseen or overlooked details of everyday life

We are particularly interested in photographs that demonstrate a distinctive artistic vision, strong visual language, and an ability to transform everyday reality into compelling imagery.

Your work may be documentary, conceptual, poetic, atmospheric, experimental, or abstract in approach. There is no single definition of street photography—we encourage photographers to interpret the genre through their own perspective and creative language.

The theme of the edition 'Everyday Objects'

We invite worldwide artists to submit their work for our upcoming Special edition of the magazine, themed ‘FORGOTTEN‘.

This theme explores memory, decay, lost narratives, neglected spaces, and unspoken emotions.

The theme for this edition is “Forgotten”.

As our modern world moves relentlessly forward, it leaves behind a wake of quiet erosion - memories that fade, places left to decay, traditions discarded, and voices smoothed over by time. To be forgotten is not merely to cease existing; it is to remain present as a ghost, an echo, or a physical trace waiting to be noticed.

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?

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?

Art & Architecture/ Special Edition 🟢

Collect Art invites artists to submit their work for a special edition of our magazine, with a theme of Art & Architecture.

Architecture is more than the spaces we inhabit. It shapes how we experience our surroundings, influences movement and perception, preserves memory, and reflects the cultural and social realities of its time. Art, in turn, has the power to reinterpret, challenge, transform, and reimagine architectural space.

For this edition, we are interested in artistic practices that explore the dialogue between art, space, structure, place, environment, and the built world. We welcome works that respond directly to architecture, as well as those that approach the subject through more conceptual, emotional, social, or abstract perspectives.

Open to visual artists worldwide, aged 18 and above, working in various media, such as painting, drawing, collage, installation, illustration, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, assemblage, fiber art, paper art, printmaking, 3D digital art, glass art, metalwork, and more...

We are particularly interested in works that explore ideas such as architecture and identity, urban landscapes, interiors and private spaces, memory and place, geometry and structure, nature and the built environment, imagined architecture, architectural fragments, public space, human interaction with space, and the transformation of environments.

Your interpretation of the theme can be literal, abstract, experimental, or entirely personal. We encourage artists to approach Art & Architecture from their own unique perspective and to consider how artistic practice can reshape our understanding of the spaces around us.

Each participant will receive a 2-6 page spread in print and digital magazines including a biography, statement, interview, QR code linked to their website and/or social media, and 2-10 featured artworks. All participants will receive a complimentary digital issue of the magazine which will be promoted on our website/social media.

Home 🟢

For this open call, we invite artists to explore the theme of Home.

Home is more than a physical place. It can be a house, a room, a city, a landscape, a memory, a person, or an inner space we carry within ourselves. It can represent belonging and comfort, but also distance, displacement, longing, change, and the search for identity.

For this edition, we invite artists to explore what home means, where it exists, and how it is experienced. We are interested in both literal and conceptual interpretations of the theme—from intimate domestic scenes and familiar surroundings to imagined spaces, memories, emotional landscapes, and places that exist only in the mind.

Artists may explore themes such as belonging, family, childhood, memory, identity, roots, migration, displacement, domestic life, personal space, architecture, heritage, community, solitude, nostalgia, and the idea of finding or creating a home.

Black & White Photography 🔴

We are accepting submissions for the next edition of our curated art publication and online exhibition, dedicated to Black & White Photography.

Stripped of color, the image speaks in light, shadow, and contrast. This open call invites artists to explore the expressive power of black and white photography—where form, texture, and composition take precedence, and every detail is distilled to its essence.

We welcome works that engage with mood, narrative, and abstraction through tonal range and visual tension. From quiet, intimate moments to stark, graphic compositions, black and white photography offers a space to reconsider how we see and what we notice.

In the absence of color, what becomes visible?

Abstract Art 🔴

We are accepting submissions for the next edition of our curated art publication and online exhibition, dedicated to the theme of 'Abstract Art'.

This edition brings together diverse approaches to abstraction, from geometric and minimal compositions to expressive, intuitive, and conceptual works. It embraces abstraction as both a visual strategy and a way of thinking—one that reflects inner states, cultural structures, and contemporary realities.

Abstract Art asks how non-figurative practices communicate in today’s world: What can be felt, remembered, or questioned when images are reduced, fragmented, or reimagined? By creating space for experimentation and interpretation, the project highlights abstraction as a timeless yet constantly evolving field—open, personal, and deeply resonant.

Abandoned 🔴

This open call invites artists working in various media, including painting, drawing, photography, textiles, digital art, collage, illustration, sculpture, ceramics, installation, design, contemporary objects, and many more.

Open to artists worldwide, aged 18 and above.

The theme of the open call is 'Abandoned'.

What does it mean to be left behind? Abandoned invites artists to explore absence, rupture, and the quiet after a departure. This theme extends beyond physical spaces—empty buildings, forgotten objects, and neglected landscapes—into emotional, social, and psychological terrains.

We welcome works that reflect on loss, memory, and transformation: the traces of what once was, the beauty within decay, and the tension between neglect and resilience. Consider what remains when purpose fades, when presence dissolves, or when something is deliberately or unintentionally left behind.

Is abandonment an ending, or can it become a beginning?
