Hello folks!
As magazine and anthology editors, we believe that it is important to support fellow artists and editors. Welcome to our Positive Art Listings!
The Positive Art Listings have a simply goal, and it is to help your submission calls and artistic events to reach a larger audience. They will be published once a month in the form of a post on our blog.
NB: We vet every call we receive to ensure that it is family-friendly. However, we are not responsible for the content published by other magazines and platforms. As always, read guidelines carefully before submitting.

Deadline: all-year long.
Submission fee: No

Floresta Magazine
Floresta (meaning ‘forest’ in Portuguese) was established in 2020 by a Woman of Colour who wanted to create a space to showcase the variety and depth of perspectives, projects, work, and art being done by women centred on and around the environment.
Call for submissions: In line with the environmental themes of Floresta, they are looking for visual work that explores ‘nature’ in relation to the theme of ‘lockdown’.
Has your relationship with nature changed or become more significant? Has nature become a sanctuary, an escape or a border? Has nature taken on human-like characteristics and acted as a companion or confidant?
Submissions are not limited to these questions, they are prompts, but your work must interact, incorporate, reflect or explore the theme, as you interpret it. (Your work does not have to have been created during the periods of lockdown.)
Deadline: February 1-28, 2021.
Submission fee: not mentioned.
Payment to selected artists: not mentioned, feature in online exhibition.
Special note: Simultaneous submissions are accepted. Original work only, up to 2 separate works. All forms of visual work considered: photography, photo series/ photo diaries, video, film, collage, paintings, renders, AR. Women artists only.
