Visibility that travels
Artists apply because publication gives the work a credible object to circulate, share, and be remembered by beyond the first glance.

Frequently asked questions
Do I pay to apply?
No. The application comes first. The participation fee applies only if we invite you into the edition.
When should I submit?
When the call opens. Once submissions begin, we review on a rolling basis and close the call once the book is fully curated.
What happens if I am selected?
You receive the next-step instructions, complete the participation step, and move into the final materials workflow for production.
What if I am not selected?
Nothing is charged. You simply do not move forward in this edition.
Can I decline even if I am selected?
Yes. You can decline after selection, and if you do not move forward, you will not be charged.
Can I revoke after confirming?
Once the process between us is finalized, the participation fee is paid, and your work has already entered editing and production, revocation is no longer possible.
Can I receive an invoice for my company?
Yes, you can request an invoice issued to your company, so the participation fee can be registered as a business expense.
Why artists apply
A European context
KULTURA places artists inside projects made in Europe and about Europe, alongside other voices working through the same cultural questions.
Art with a public life
Submitting is a way to help art move outward: into readers' hands, conversations, shelves, studios, and future references.
Print still matters
For artists who value physical media, a book gives the work texture, permanence, and a form that can be held, collected, and returned to.
All KULTURA editions are published in English. Our correspondence with artists is in English.
