Organizer Information
LADIES DRAWING CLÜB is an independent contemporary art community that represents and supports female artists from all over the world. The organization publishes a recurring printed magazine built around themed open calls for female-identifying artists, gathering visual work, personal stories, and photography submitted from an international pool of contributors. Past editions of the magazine, such as issue #8, have featured selected artists from a range of countries and have specifically made space for stories from women artists working under restrictive conditions. Limited public information is available about the organization's founding history or formal structure beyond its published magazine issues and social presence.
Title & Description
Ladies with Dogs — Open Call for Photographers
This is an open call inviting photographers, artists, and anyone interested in the subject to submit images exploring the pairing of women and dogs — in public space, at home, and across moments of intimacy, companionship, absurdity, solitude, tenderness, or everyday life. The call is open to a wide range of visual approaches, including portraits, snapshots, staged images, archival photographs, found images, quiet observations, and unusual encounters. Selected submissions will be compiled into a printed magazine dedicated to the theme, bringing together different visual languages, generations, places, and personal stories. Participation does not require professional photography experience.
Theme
Ladies with Dogs — images, stories, and encounters exploring the many ways women and dogs appear together, and what that pairing might reveal about care, companionship, identity, class, ageing, urban life, freedom, and vulnerability, or nothing at all beyond the image itself.
