ELSEHERE Magazine / International Artist Catalog Open Call
INTERNATIONAL OPEN CALL – ELSEHERE Magazine & Artist Catalog
No submission fee · Online + print features · Global circulation

ELSEHERE is an international art label and culture platform. ELSEHERE produces, presents, and preserves works that expand the edges of contemporary expression across visual, kinetic, performative, and digital forms. Through a curatorial network spanning the United States, Europe, and Asia, ELSEHERE is building an artist-centered ecosystem where practices can move, be seen, and enter into dialogue across borders.

Why Submit?

Selected artists and writers will receive:

International exposure
Feature in ELSEHERE Magazine (digital) and the ELSEHERE International Artist Catalog, presented across ELSEHERE’s website and digital channels.
Multi-platform presence
Works may be highlighted on ELSEHERE’s social media, editorial features, and future online programs.
Long-term visibility
Selected practices will sit within ELSEHERE’s growing curatorial framework, referenced in future dossiers, pitches, and institutional conversations.

Future opportunities: featured artists may be considered for: label artist invitations, commissions and co-productions, cross-border presentations and collaborations.

Artist-centered framing: All work is presented with clear credit, contextual writing, and care toward how the practice is held in an international context.

There is no submission fee. Selected artists will not be asked to pay for publication or exposure.

We welcome artists and writers from any country whose work moves between:

• performance / choreography / embodied practice
• moving image, film, video, screen-based work
• installation, spatial and conceptual practices
• photography and still image
• sound, voice, listening-based work
• digital, web-based, and hybrid forms
• essays, critical writing, experimental texts, and artist writing

There is no fixed theme, but ELSEHERE is particularly interested in:

• practices that cross bodies, images, technologies, and languages
• work that arrives before the language to describe it
• perspectives that expand how art can exist in a more-than-human era
• experimental and uncatalogued practices operating between regions and disciplines

What Selected Artists Receive：

• Feature in ELSEHERE Magazine (digital issue)
• Inclusion in the ELSEHERE International Artist Catalog (ongoing online archive; selected works may later appear in print anthologies)
• Dedicated artist page or dossier on ELSEHERE’s website after launch
• Potential social media features and multi-format editorial presentation

Priority consideration for:

• future ELSEHERE programs,
• label artist invitations,
• commissions, presentations, and cross-border collaborations

Selected artists will be invited to sign ELSEHERE’s Artwork Presentation & Usage Authorization Agreement, which is non-exclusive: copyright remains with the artist at all times.

Requirements

• Open to artists, writers, and collectives worldwide
• All disciplines listed above are welcome
