  • Open Call: Ecological Design Collective Featured Artist — Summer 2025

    Posted by Kristine Roome on April 10, 2025 at 11:16 am

    The Ecological Design Collective (EDC) invites submissions for our Summer 2025 Featured Artist series. This is a quarterly opportunity to share your work at the intersection of art, ecology, and design with an international community of peers, researchers, and curators engaged in the ongoing reimagination of environmental futures. Share your work through a digital exhibition, curated and peer-reviewed, celebrating artistic engagements with the ecological and the more-than-human world.


    What We Are Looking For:

    We are seeking artists whose work speaks to themes of ecology, place, design, justice, and multispecies life. We especially welcome submissions that experiment with form and medium, invite reflection, and challenge conventional boundaries.

    Each featured artist will:

    • Be showcased on the EDC website as a Featured Artist for one season (3 months).
    • Present 8 curated images of their work, with captions or accompanying texts.
    • Have their work reviewed by the EcoArts lead and a panel of curators.
    • Be included in EDC’s growing archive of ecological artists.


    Summer 2025 Call

    • Deadline to Submit: May 15, 2025
    • Launch Date: June 1, 2025
    • Duration: The selected work will be featured through August 2025.


    Submission Guidelines

    To be considered, please submit the following:

    • A brief artist statement (max 300 words)
    • A short bio (150 words)
    • 8 high-resolution images of your work (JPEG or PNG), with titles and descriptions
    • Optional: Links to your website, social media, or relevant press

    All materials will be reviewed by our curatorial team through a peer-reviewed process. We aim to notify the selected artist by May 25.
