PROMPTED 001: OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Prompted is our monthly community-driven series in which we ask a question, and you answer with one visual artwork. At the end of the month, we gather all of your artistic interpretations to create a single visual essay.
The series’ inaugural prompt is…
“HOW FAR AWAY ARE YOU?”
We want to see how you would respond to this question with an image (moving or still). Don’t think too hard, but also do think a little. Any and all visual interpretations are welcome. So grab your camera, brush, tablet, or dig through your archive, and send your answers to hello@thisfar.co by February 21st, 2021. On March 1st, we will synthesize all your beautiful submissions into a visual essay to publish on the blog.
All contributors will also be added to our THIS FAR Slack, which is a space dedicated to helping artists in the TF community grow by connecting everyone together to collaborate, share helpful resources, ask questions, learn about different creative events and opportunities, and just virtually hang.
Send us a note if you’ve got something for Prompted but plan to be fashionably late. See our submission guidelines below.
