Forgotten
Deadline: 24/09/2026City: Palermo | Country: Italy | Collect Art
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. We are looking for visual interpretations of the forgotten - whether that means fading family archives, abandoned architecture, suppressed histories, or subtle moments in daily life that slip through the cracks of time.
Open to visual artists internationally, aged 18 and above, working in various media, including painting, drawing, collage, installation, illustration, photography, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, assemblage, fibre art, paper art, printmaking, 3D digital art, glass art, metalwork, and more.
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.
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.
In addition, you will receive the link for ordering the printed magazine.
Moreover, the curatorial team will select a few exceptional artists for inclusion in their upcoming book edition titled '101 Contemporary Artists and More...'
Requirements for the submission:
Up to 12 photos, details of the work (title, medium, size, year), brief biography, artist statement (min 100 words each), website, and social media links.
Deadline: September 24, 2026
Application Fee: No Fee
The participation fee is 25 EUR (in case of acceptance)
