Last Call! Get Featured in Studio Visit Book Vol. 6

As always, Arts to Hearts Project is back with another amazing opportunity to spotlight the artists behind the work, and this time, we’re inviting you to be part of Studio Visit Book Vol. 6.

Let me ask you something: what if the space where you create could be seen by the world? I know your studio isn’t always picture-perfect. Maybe it’s a bright little corner of your living room, a cluttered garage, or just a desk that becomes magic when inspiration strikes. But that space? That’s where your creativity lives, and that’s exactly what Studio Visit Book Vol. 6 wants to celebrate.

We’re getting close to the deadline now, May 25th, and it only takes $12 to apply. That’s twelve dollars to put your work in front of an international jury and possibly be featured in a beautifully designed, globally distributed art book. Not a bad investment for something that could change your creative career.

In this article, I’ll explain the opportunity, why it’s worth it, and how you can apply before the clock runs out.

So, What Is Studio Visit Book Vol. 6?

Great question, and we’re super excited to answer.

Studio Visit Book Vol. 6 is a beautifully curated hardcover art book that features 100 artists from around the world, giving readers an inside look at the spaces where creativity really happens. But this isn’t just about pretty pictures of clean studios and finished work. It’s about real artists, real spaces, and the behind-the-scenes magic that goes into making art.

If selected, you’ll be featured across three full pages in the book. That means high-quality images of your studio and artwork, and a personal interview that tells your story, your process, your journey, and what drives you to create. Whether you’re working in a spacious studio or just squeezing creativity into the corner of a kitchen table, this book is about honoring that space and everything that happens in it.

And here’s the cool part: this isn’t our first time doing this. We’ve published five previous volumes, each one showcasing artists from all kinds of backgrounds and mediums: painters, textile artists, sculptors, photographers, performers, digital creators, you name it. Many of those artists have gone on to land gallery shows, grants, residencies, press coverage, and new opportunities after being featured.

Plus, this isn’t some niche, limited-run zine. Studio Visit Book is distributed internationally and sold through major retailers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon, putting your work in front of collectors, curators, and art lovers around the world.

This year’s theme is Bloom. A celebration of the growth that happens when you stick with your creative practice, even when no one’s watching. It’s about the quiet moments, the messy middle, and the joy of seeing your ideas come to life.

So, if you’ve ever wanted to share your space, your process, and your passion with a wider audience, this is your moment.

Why This Matters

We get it, artists are always searching for meaningful ways to get their work seen without draining their wallets. That’s exactly why this opportunity is designed to be both accessible and impactful. For just $12, your work is reviewed by a jury of international art professionals who are genuinely looking to discover fresh, compelling voices.

And if you’re selected? You’ll be featured with a full 3-page spread in a beautifully designed hardcover book, complete with your artwork, studio photos, and a personal interview. You’ll also receive your own copy of the book, valued at $250, shipped straight to you.

But more than that, this is a chance to connect with a global community of artists, curators, and creatives who appreciate the process as much as the finished product. It’s a way to expand your visibility, build real connections, and be part of something that celebrates the heart of making art, not just the end result.

A Chance to Win, A Chance to Grow

Getting featured in Studio Visit Book Vol. 6 is already a huge opportunity, but it gets even better. Selected artists don’t just get published; they’re automatically considered for the Studio Visit Book Awards 2025, designed to recognize and reward outstanding creative work and dedication.
