open call for emerging & established artists
Your art deserves a wide audience. Art Room publishes limited edition art prints of painting, drawing, mixed media, fine art photography and even sculptural art.
Are you an emerging talent or an established visual artist and does a semi-passive income appeal to you? Do you dream of an art world that is more accessible, more democratic, more impactful and profitable? And this without sacrificing artistic quality, individuality and authenticity?
Art Room selects talented contemporary artists to release affordable, high-quality limited art prints . We lower barriers, connect and make room for art among a broad, valuable audience .
Which art is eligible?
Eligible art forms are contemporary painting, drawing, mixed media, art photography and sculptural art (photographed).
We want to make art more accessible and bring it closer. Art does not only belong in museums, galleries, public locations or on Instagram. We offer a collection of work that is artistically strong and adds visual, emotional and intellectual value to personal and professional spaces.
We love creative, idiosyncratic work. We have a soft spot for images that are aesthetic in an original way, but also imperfect, mysterious, not too direct, not too digital. Art in which you clearly see the creative process, in which time and energy have gone into. Abstract, semi-abstract or figurative. Edgy images that could just about fit in a living room. Close-ups, landscapes (idyllic, run-down or both at the same time), nature, still lifes, odes to life, everyday awkwardness, universal themes.
What are we not looking for?
We are not looking for illustrations, children's drawings, travel photography or other 'normal' photography, nude photography, decoration, kitschy abstract paintings, shocking or very depressing work, 100% digital work, portraits, collages, classical art, graphic work, installation art, etc. ..
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for both emerging artists and established names. Artists already represented by a gallery are also eligible.
We focus on contemporary visual artists with experience, know-how, vision and their own style. Age, place of residence, gender, nationality, origin or education do not play a role. Diversity, inclusion and fair trade are self-evident to us.
How do I register?
Make a selection of your best work, collect titles, specifications and a low res image per work, take your biography at hand and register. This registration is not binding and nothing will be published, stored or used without your official permission.

Why limited edition art prints?
-
Making art meaningful and profitable
If you add up the entire creation process, all the working and thinking hours, the costs for decent materials, the rental of a studio and energy costs, it quickly becomes clear why art cannot be cheap. But you don't just want to do work for the minority who can afford it. Limited edition art prints give you more financial security and at the same time make art more democratic and accessible without sacrificing artistic quality.
An alternative to priceless original art, expensive art editions and mainstream wall art
Most original art and art editions on the market are unaffordable for a large group of people. Affordable work is often of lesser artistic quality. Thanks to high-quality limited art prints with larger editions, we can offer democratic prices for great works of art without financial disadvantage for the artist.
-
Equal artistic experience
Selected works are photographed in detail and realistically and are then printed on Hahnemühle paper according to the best specifications. As an artist, you determine the finishing and framing yourself.
A reproduction can be a strong approximation of the original, or sometimes a new work is created through the contrast with the form and/or medium of the original. The end result is stunningly beautiful and you see all the details that you see in the original work. The experience is therefore almost equal. The image quality and details are better than with a print on canvas.
Hahnemühle paper can be plain to felt-like, extremely matt to glossy, provides beautiful deep colors and has a high aging resistance.
