Open call for Artists & writers

We are calling all artists and writers who create work that externalises the internal 



Externalising the internal can refer to several approaches, including a psychological defense mechanism, a narrative therapy technique, and a way to cope with internal conflict. 

This could be your journey or that of communities.

Creativity is a wonderful opportunity for catharsis, healing, and raising awareness, and we are excited to see your response.

We are seeking artwork from any media, writing, and opinions. If you submit a film, it must be YouTube or Vimeo, with the settings set to public.

Please provide at least three lines of context to accompany your work and your social media links.

Submission Guidelines: We welcome submissions in a variety of media, including:

  • Visual Art: Paintings, drawings, sculptures, mixed media, digital art, collage, photography, and more.

  • Text-based Work: Written or visual poetry, art journaling, experimental text, and other word-based art forms.

  • Multidisciplinary/Other: Unclassifiable forms, assemblage, found objects, or installations.

    Submission Specifications:

Visual Art: Submit up to 3 images (.jpeg ) with titles, dimensions, and a brief description of each piece (max 200 words).

Text-based Work: Submit up to 3 pieces in .docx or .pdf format, with each piece accompanied by a description of how it aligns with the Outsider Art theme.


Musicians/Sound/video Artists: Submit up to 3 audio tracks (mp3 or link to YouTube, Vimeo), along with a brief description (max 200 words) of how your work ties into the theme of "unfinished."

Additional Requirements:

  • A short bio (max 150 words) that includes your background and connection to outsider art.

Deadline for Submission:

5th January 2025

What to Expect:
