open call for new work and one work

Prospect Art invites visual artists worldwide to submit their work for consideration in our ONE WORK and NEW WORK programs. This year we are prioritizing works that explore environmental issues, climate change, and the impact of human existence on our planet.

Our NEW WORK program is a mini-grant initiative that provides support for the production of new artwork. We aim to support professional artists at all career stages who are not currently enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studio art programs, regardless of their location. The program runs once a year, offering a $1000 mini-grant to individual artists or artist collectives. The grant is intended to fully fund a project that can be completed within the next 12 months. We welcome submissions that explore innovative ideas and push the boundaries of traditional art practices, with a particular interest in self-contained, conceptual-based projects.

The ONE WORK publishing program is dedicated to a critical dialogue that focuses on one specific completed work by an artist for our monthly online publication. We are interested in highlighting various conceptual-based works that approach contemporary issues in a new and exciting way and represent the diverse voices and populations of the world. For this program we welcome artist submissions of work that has been completed in the past 2 years.
