Open call for Artists & writers

Issue 63

We’re seeking artists and writers for our next online exhibition and publication themed

“GRAFFITI”

🎨🔥 OPEN CALL: GRAFFITI ISSUE — LOUD, MESSY & UNAPOLOGETIC 🔥🎨

We’re looking for the rule-breakers, the wall-scribblers, the midnight painters, the poets with paint on their fingers, this one’s for you.

Our next zine issue is diving headfirst into the world of graffiti, street art, and public rebellion. We want art that shouts, writing that provokes, and ideas that can’t be caged. Whether you’re tagging underpasses, turning walls into protest, or scribbling resistance on a napkin, we want your work.

This is your space to go raw, loud, political, personal, funny, furious, fearless.
No white cubes. No gallery rules. Just pure, unfiltered expression.

🖍 We’re calling for:

  • Graffiti, tags, stencils, paste-ups, stickers, murals

  • Flash essays and manifestos

  • Street photography and visual essays

  • Poems from the pavement

  • Rants, love letters, and sharp takes on public space

  • Creative pieces on vandalism, voice, visibility, and visual noise

💥 Think: power, protest, play, and paint. If it challenges, cracks a system, or makes someone stop and feel something, send it.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.

🗓 Deadline: 3RD, AUG, 25
📥 Submit to: https://www.curatorspace.com/opportunities/detail/free-open-call-for-artist-writers--creators--the-theme---graffiti-art---issue/9584

📌 Open to all artists, writers, and creators worldwide.

Tag the streets. Tag the page. Let’s raise hell beautifully.

Who Can Submit?

This call is open to artists across all visual media (painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, etc.) and writers working in poetry, fiction, nonfiction, or hybrid forms. We encourage experimental, boundary-pushing work that brings fresh perspectives to the theme.
