Organizer Information
LandEscape Art Review is an international contemporary art publication and open call platform operating under a European editorial framework. It was established to connect emerging and established artists with a global critical audience through curated publication, editorial coverage, and exhibition. The platform is run by an internal curatorial committee and publishes themed special and anniversary editions featuring nine selected artists per issue, across disciplines ranging from painting and photography to performance and public art.
Now marking its 20th edition, LandEscape has published anniversary and special editions since at least 2014, with past editions curated by figures including Dario Rutugliano and Josh Ryder. The platform operates on the principle that art discovery should be barrier-free — submissions have consistently carried no entry fee across all editions. LandEscape distributes its publication in both print and digital formats and maintains a network of collectors, curators, and institutions through which selected artists gain sustained visibility. Limited public information is available about the organization's full institutional structure or country of registration beyond its European contact domain.
Title & Description
LandEscape Now! — Anniversary Edition Open Call 2026
LandEscape Now! is the open call series through which LandEscape Art Review selects nine artists per edition for publication and critical coverage. The Anniversary Edition invites artists working across fine arts disciplines to submit their work for consideration.
The edition centers on the theme of landscape understood broadly — not limited to geography or nature, but encompassing any surroundings that shape or inform artistic production. Applicants are encouraged to investigate the nature of their own creative process and to articulate how their environment, in any sense of the word, plays a role in the composition of their work. The call is framed as a critical dialogue between artists and audience rather than a competitive selection, with evaluation focused on artistic vision and the conceptual realization of an idea.
Theme
Landscape — in all its accepted meanings — and the fundamental role that surroundings of any kind play in the composition of an artwork. Applicants are invited to investigate their own creative process through this lens.
