The Woman Artist Award, 7th Edition

About this call

The Woman Artist Award, now in its 7th edition, is an international open call by Arts to Hearts Project for emerging and mid-career women artists. The Award is the open call, and Women Artists on the Rise is the book series featuring selected artists: this edition prepares the 5th Edition of that hardcover coffee table book. The theme is open and all mediums are welcome. The Main Prize Winner receives US$500, an engraved glass trophy with a certificate, a full-length interview in the book, an interview on the Arts to Hearts Project website, a one-year portfolio feature in the Women in Arts Network and a one-year magazine subscription. The First Runner-up receives an engraved glass trophy, a certificate, a website interview, a one-year Women in Arts Network portfolio feature and a one-year print and digital magazine subscription; the Second Runner-up receives the same with a six-month Women in Arts Network feature and a one-year digital magazine subscription. The top three winners are also offered mentorship calls with established art professionals and a subscription to Fiber Art Now magazine.
