Art Worlds articles share practical advice on the realities of operating in the art world.
We’re inviting proposals for articles that offer insights on being an artist from diverse lived experiences. A central focus is how to develop and maintain a sustainable career.
We want to hear:
- Your experiences on the business of being an artist
- The advice you would pass on the next generation of artists
- From artists that identify as being marginalised in the arts
- How you have overcome the practical and philosophical challenges you face in sustaining your career
- Everyday ways in which you manage to keep making work
- About your lived experience of balancing your artistic practice, parenthood and/or any care giving responsibilities
- How you navigate the art world without having attended higher education
- Your views on developing a sustainable practice in response to the climate emergency
In return, we offer up to £250 per article, display up to 4 images/audio/film of your work, and promote your current projects on our Twitter network and email newsletter. To apply, you must be a practising visual artist anywhere in the world and a member of Exchange.
Articles can take the form of a 500 word text, video or audio piece. We publish a new article once every 2 months. Unfortunately, we can’t accept every pitch we receive. We intend to let applicants know the outcome of their proposal within 1 month.
We encourage applications from individuals who identify as part of underrepresented or marginalised groups and artists with lived experience of inequality, disadvantage and/or discrimination.
Applications are not currently being accepted.If you have any questions or need further assistance with this application, email Tom Pope.
