We invite artists from around the world to participate in an international online exhibition and publication exploring the theme “Religion & Cult.”
This open call seeks works that investigate belief systems, ritual, symbolism, devotion, spirituality, mythology, and the powerful structures that shape collective faith and cultural identity.
Religion and cult practices have played a profound role throughout human history, influencing societies, art, architecture, and personal identity.
From sacred traditions and spiritual reflection to critical examinations of dogma, power, and ritual, artists have long engaged with these complex and layered themes.
Artists may approach the theme through personal experience, cultural heritage, philosophical inquiry, or social commentary.
Works may explore sacred symbols, rituals, mythologies, spiritual journeys, collective belief systems, or the tension between faith, scepticism, and modern society.
Open to artists worldwide, aged 18 and above.
All career stages are welcome.

Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media art, digital art, textile, collage, illustration and more...
