The Ecological Design Collective (EDC) invites submissions for our Winter 2026 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.
- Receive an honorarium of $200.
