The mission of ArtAscent is to inspire and promote artists of images and words. Our most popular call is the quarterly theme-based call which showcases diverse creative explorations of that theme via various media. This marketing tool is created by artists and writers for artists and writers. ArtAscent provides the opportunity for the voices and visions of writers and artists to be shared in a professional and accessible platform. This is our art, and we are grateful to be part of a bright community of creatives and art lovers. Theme: How abstract can things be? Abstractions are all around us. Ideas can be abstract; existing as an idea, feeling or quality but not having a tangible existence. Some conversations can be abstract, vague and theoretical and not based on particular examples or facts. And of course, there is abstract art which evokes feelings without trying to realistically represent the appearance of people or things. Abstract art, like poetry, offers a fragment of a mysteriously familiar narrative without directly revealing it in a realistic way. Reveal your most ABSTRACT thoughts. Eligible Submissions: Entries may include 2- and 3-dimensional media, such as paintings, drawings, photography, mixed media, installations, ceramics, jewelry, fabric, sculpture, photos of performance art, fiction, poetry, short stories and other written explorations. Deadline for submission is Tuesday, May 31, 2022. Highlights: Publication in a brilliant art magazine and online 2-year exhibition. Four top applicants will receive a feature section with a profile written about them. Up to 40 applicants will be selected for the full exhibition, all to be showcased in the magazine and the juried online exhibition. Feminist Spaces Call for Papers!

Community Events Embodiment: Gender in the Expanse Opening Reception presented by Hedreen Gallery curated by Arielle Simmons, MFA'22 With vulnerability and empathy, artists Natalie Krick, Barry Johnson, Hanako O’Leary, Rafael Soldi, Kali Spitzer and Anthony White explore the expanse of gender with their practice. Expectations of gender and sexuality shape our social landscape. Acknowledging that gender is performative, rather than anatomical, how does our physical embodiment contribute to our gender identity? Anthropocene: Artist Talk + Reception by METHOD Gallery Anthropocene looks back to the Industrial Revolution and the ordinary people who, often unwittingly, launched and participated in practices that created the environmental catastrophes we see today, from historic floods and wildfires to deforestation and extinction events. What has changed since then? How different are they from us? What did they know and when did they know it? Winter Northwest by SPACE at Magnuson Soman’s photographs bring their subjects to life. Utilizing a delicate sensitivity towards light, Soman observes animals in their natural environment, perfectly capturing their emotion, strength, and fragility. Soman’s photography, and great love of the wilderness inspires change, and builds awareness about wildlife conservation. 10 Reasons to Support the Arts by Americans for the Arts With the arts advocacy season fully upon us, join Randy Cohen, Americans for the Arts VP of Research, to discuss the latest updates to the top “10 Reasons to Support the Arts” and get 10 case-making arrows to include in your arts advocacy quiver to convince anyone to support the arts.
