Young Space invites submissions of contemporary visual art for an elevated, independent print + online magazine launching Summer 2020. In keeping with the global and communal spirit of Young Space, this new project positions contemporary visual art in dialogue with design, architecture, photography, travel, and more — in short, activities and ideas that “fit nicely” with visual art. This exciting new collaborative project features work from global artists and creatives who seek, facilitate and encourage connection through their practices, projects, and communities. This will be a BRAND NEW international project, branching out from yngspc, with an aim to open up to a variety of contributions and curated projects in future. A section of the magazine is devoted to a juried open call, for which selected work will receive a 1- or 2-page spread (determined by the editors) comprised of images of your work accompanied by brief informational text. The publication will be announced and promoted publicly in spring and released in summer! If you have any specific questions about the publication before applying, please email Kate at kate@yngspc.com!
