CALLING ALL INTERNATIONAL ILLUSTRATORS

Print it! 2025 – A platform for the world’s creatives

Are you an illustrator looking to expand your reach beyond your local area? Then look no further! Our art book can connect you with creatives all over the world, giving you the opportunity to showcase your unique style and creativity. This is an open call for illustrators of all levels. Our Print It! Art Books have showcased artists from London to New Zealand. Exhibiting is not always accessible to everyone. From printing costs, framing, transport and exhibition room hire. It all adds up! So let us do the hard work – all we need from you is to enter.

Now in its fifth edition our Print It! book will feature one image, your biography and contact information – perfect for exposure, showcasing your work and networking with fellow artists.

This year all artists and creatives that submit will be featured in the Print It! 2025 book. Each artist taking part will receive a Print It! book. The book will be available to purchase in the gallery shop. Also, a limited edition of the Print It! book will go directly to galleries, curators, and collectors. This is a fantastic opportunity for artists to present their work to a new audience.

Alongside the art book our Curators will select 20 artists to have their photography printed, framed and featured in an exhibition at APS’s new gallery space The Mill Gallery in March 2025. This illustration exhibition will take place as part of a wider exhibition open to the public for 4 weeks. The exhibition will showcase photography, illustration, visual art and digital art. Each section will have a one week feature.

At APS we hope to reflect the creativity and diversity of artists in our art book as well as providing an important opportunity for artists to exhibit their work to the public. This exhibition book aims to bring together fantastic works from regional, national and international artists. Our intention is to broaden the public perception of Art. There is no theme to this exhibition.
