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, fibre 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, is welcome.

Open to artists and musicians  (producers and composers) worldwide, aged 18 and above.

The theme of 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.
