For our regular art and photo spotlights, we’ve always asked to see a body of work—multiple images—either a series or a cohesive selection of images. This is still the case for our spotlights, but we’ve realised this approach can be limiting when people don’t have enough work that’s ready to share. So for this open call, we’re allowing single-image submissions. Hopefully this makes it easier for you to submit!
We’re now accepting submissions for our open call “Array”, which will present a diverse mix of images, each one from a different artist or photographer. We will be sharing our favourite images in articles on our site and also on Instagram through posts and reels. And on top of that, we are going to be making a free downloadable “Array” zine, which will be distributed through our mailer, putting your work in front of as many eyeballs as we can! If you think of a spotlight feature as a solo show, “Array” will be more like a group exhibition.

Deadline for submissions: 11:59PM PST November 3rd, 2023
After the call closes, we’ll compile our favourite images from the submissions and publish them alongside a selection of the most memorable images from previous features. There is no theme for this first issue of the zine, we are simply looking to feature the most eye-catching images. What is the one image that will make someone want to see more of your work?
You may submit standalone images or images which belong to a series. Photos, paintings, illustrations, anything you’ve got. Feel free to submit multiple times, just remember we always like to see your best work, and a maximum of one image per artist or photographer will be included in the zine.
