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... Musical works and projects that engage with the theme in innovative and meaningful ways. Every genre and style of music, or mix of styles are welcome. 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. Additionally, selected musicians will also have their musical works accessible through QR codes. All participants will receive a complimentary digital issue of the magazine which will be promoted on our website/social media.
