The deadline for this opportunity has passed, and no more submissions are being accepted. Click here to have a look at other opportunities listed on CuratorSpace.

Seeking submissions from members of the creative community for a publication about exhibitions, shows, gigs or concerts that fundamentally broadened your horizons of what art, music or creative expression can be and do.

I want to hear about a show that changed your thought processes forever, that set you on a path of artistic growth, or that opened your eyes to a whole new way of seeing. I want to hear about the way it made you feel, what it inspired you to create, or simply about what it was.
 
Submissions can be any medium that can be easily reproduced in an A5 full colour publication. This includes poetry, prose (up to 2 sides of A5), illustration, comics, instructional writing, abstract imagery, screenshots, collage etc. and must be in response to the theme of personally transformative exhibitions, shows, gigs or concerts. Responses can be as literal or as abstract as you like, and can be in response to in-person or virtual shows, exhibitions, or other immersive experiences, from any artistic discipline.
 
Successful responses will be collated into an A5 full colour publication, aiming to go to print before the end of the year. This will be distributed through the Ninetales Collective online store, as well as submitted to national and international distributors and bookshops. The publication will be presented alongside a directory of the experiences included submissions were in response to, to create a mini-library of experiences that broadened our collective horizons.
