International Open Call “101 Art Book: Collage Edition” Now live

What if your art could travel further than your studio walls beyond your city, beyond your country, and even beyond your continent? What if your work could live inside a beautifully designed, globally distributed hardcover book, where it sits alongside 100 other incredible artists from around the world? Imagine someone on the other side of the globe an art collector in New York, a curator in Berlin, or an art lover in Tokyo flipping through its pages and discovering your work, your name, and your story. That is exactly what the 101 Art Book offers to artists today: a chance to be remembered, to be celebrated, and to become part of an international archive of contemporary creativity.

Launched in 2023, the 101 Art Book Project has quickly grown into one of the most beloved international art publishing initiatives of our time. What began as a bold experiment has blossomed into a global tradition, one that celebrates the brilliance of artists across countries and cultures. In just two years, it has already featured more than 700 artists across six editions, each one built around a unique theme from Landscapes to Portraits, from Animals to Florals. Each book is far more than a collection of images. It is a carefully curated snapshot of today’s artistic voices, a record of how artists everywhere are creating, thinking, and reshaping the world. Published as a luxurious collectible hardcover, every volume of the 101 Art Book is available worldwide through platforms like Amazon and Barnes & Noble, ensuring that these voices reach far beyond local galleries or online feeds.

Now, the 101 Art Book: Collage Edition is here, and it might just be the most exciting chapter yet.

101 Artbook 7th Edition Theme: Collage

Collage has always been about reinvention. It is one of the most open-ended, imaginative, and democratic mediums in art history. At its core, collage is about taking fragments images, textures, scraps of colour, photographs, words and transforming them into something entirely new. It’s playful because it invites experimentation, it’s political because it can subvert and remix cultural icons, and it’s poetic because it weaves together disparate elements into a harmonious story. Few mediums hold the ability to merge chaos and harmony so beautifully on the same page.

The 101 Art Book: Collage Edition is a celebration of this magic. It invites artists everywhere emerging or established, traditional or digital to submit works that reflect the endless possibilities of collage. From traditional cut-and-paste paper collages to digital assemblages, from photo-based works to layered fabric or text compositions, every interpretation of collage has a place in this book. The medium thrives on diversity, and this edition is designed to showcase that diversity in its most powerful form. Because in the world of collage, there are no boundaries. There are only layers and the stories they reveal.
