International Call for Artists - Curatorial Review Catalogue Publication

About the Open Call

Read all guidelines before sending an application. Artists who are selected for publication are featured with detailed curatorial review essays in the catalogue, written by the curator. Catalogue articles are released in editions and sent to thousands of organic subscribers through a press release / email blast. Artist Feature Catalogue articles are published on the Titan Contemporary Publishing website, Substack page, and in linen wrap hardcover book editions. The Titan Contemporary Catalogue is not a magazine but rather a collection of scholarly essays published in a hardcover artbook format as well as presented digitally in a manner similar to an exhibition catalogue. It includes artists with works in permanent collections of major museums and those critically published by notable media outlets. Support: There are no fees to apply or participate but selected artists must purchase one of the current book volumes from Titan Contemporary Publishing before becoming published. We generally want to publish artists who support the publication and want to read our content. Artists who are selected for publication must email a receipt or screenshot of their receipt of a purchase from the TCP Lulu bookstore. The artist may purchase either an economical paperback edition or a premium linen wrap hardcover book. Future Opportunities After Becoming Published: Titan Contemporary Publishing strives to build professional networking relationships with featured artists. The Catalogue is a database and intricate network of established artists. Becoming published leads to future opportunities such as features in press releases, book screenshot previews, videos, showcases in Titan Contemporary Journal and Titan Voice spotlight, and future publications. Artists published before have an advantage, though a one-year waiting period applies for re-publication. Being in the catalogue is a prestigious honor.
