In Nature: Art Maker Magazine Issue 5

International Deadline: June 12, 2026 – IN NATURE is an international open call for work that engages with the natural world—its rhythms, forces, and quiet transformations. We invite you to share art that reflects on our connection to the environment, whether that experience feels intimate or expansive, observational or symbolic, grounded or imagined.

The theme is intentionally broad. We are interested in your unique perspective on the world, whether through direct representation, emotional resonance, storytelling, or experimental processes. Your work might explore growth, decay, migration, instinct, memory, scale, or the tension between the human and nonhuman. From traditional landscapes and wildlife studies to conceptual installations and digital forms, we want to see how you engage with the natural world.

All accepted works will be published in the digital and print editions of ART MAKER Issue 5.

ELIGIBILITY
We welcome all mediums, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, textiles, collage, printmaking, video, animation, sound, installation, and experimental work. We want to see how your unique creative practice interprets our shared environment.

New works created in response to this call are welcome, as well as corresponding works made within the last three years.*

*Please note: Works created solely with AI are not eligible for this call.
