Only 5 Days Left! Submit to the 100 Emerging Artworks of 2025

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to be called an “emerging artist”? It’s not just about being early in your career. It’s about showing potential, experimenting with your voice, and creating work that represents where you are right now in your artistic journey.

The 100 Emerging Artworks of 2025 is designed to give artists like you a stage an opportunity to showcase your work in a professional art book, alongside peers from all over the world, and to connect with curators, galleries, and collectors who are actively looking for fresh voices in contemporary art.

With the early bird deadline closing on August 23, 2025, this is your chance to be seen, recognized, and remembered.

What is 100 Emerging Artworks of 2025?

This open call is part of the 100 Emerging Artworks series by the Arts to Hearts Project in collaboration with Singulart (an international online gallery and artist platform). Each year, this initiative highlights 100 promising emerging and mid-career artists in a professionally curated, hardcover art book.

• The book is designed as a coffee table publication, meaning it’s both visually striking and lasting something collectors, institutions, and art lovers keep for years.
• Once published, it will be distributed worldwide through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major platforms, making your work visible far beyond a single exhibition or online post.

In other words: it’s not just a showcase; it’s a career milestone that can strengthen your portfolio and increase your visibility in the art world.

Why This Opportunity Matters

Many artists participate in exhibitions or online features, but very few have the chance to be part of a professionally published book with international reach. Here’s why this particular call stands out:

Awards & Recognition

The top three artists will each receive a USD $1,000 cash prize along with a custom-designed trophy, celebrating their achievement and artistic excellence. In addition, one exceptional artist will be awarded a Platinum Singulart subscription, valued at $1,500, providing exclusive access and direct exposure to collectors across the globe. These recognitions not only honor artistic merit but also open doors to new opportunities and visibility.

Publication & Visibility

Selected artworks will be featured in a professionally curated, museum-quality hardcover book, ensuring lasting documentation of each artist’s contribution. Every participating artist will receive an official Certificate of Participation, a valuable credential for their professional portfolio. The top three artists will gain further prominence through exclusive interviews and features in Arts to Hearts Magazine, Issue 11 a publication widely read by curators, gallerists, and collectors worldwide.

Community & Legacy

This opportunity goes beyond a single moment of exposure. By becoming part of this initiative, your work will exist as both a printed record and a contribution to a global community of artists. Rather than remaining confined to digital platforms, your art will live on as part of a tangible archive, carrying your voice and vision forward. It is a chance to build a legacy that represents your practice and continues to inspire years into the future.

Who Can Apply?

This call is open and inclusive, welcoming:

• Artists aged 18 and above from any country in the world.
• Artists at the emerging stage (just beginning to establish themselves) and mid-career artists (already exhibiting and selling but looking for international exposure).
• All mediums are accepted: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, installation, digital art, mixed media, textile art, performance documentation, and more.

If your work represents your current practice and artistic voice, it belongs here.

What Does “Emerging Artwork” Mean in This Context?

Unlike themed open calls, this edition has no strict theme. The goal is to highlight diversity in artistic expression. “Emerging artwork” is defined broadly:

• It can be personal or conceptual, experimental or traditional.
• It can be about identity, environment, society, memory, imagination, or pure form.
• What matters most is your voice as an artist, what your work contributes to today’s conversations in art.

This makes the call especially suitable for artists at different points in their journey, regardless of whether your work is deeply conceptual or visually expressive.
