Open Call
Our 2026 General Open Call has closed. However, we’re always excited to discover new artists. If you think your work would be a good fit with us, feel free to send us a direct email: curator@littledeath.art
If emailing, it’s helpful to include:
• A link to your website and/or Instagram.
• A few sample works (if different than what’s viewable online).
• Price range of your work (roughly).
We are always looking for zines and artist publications. We’re open to functional and non-functional; wearable and hangable; small and big; sweet and weird… whatever. We especially love smaller, lesser known artists. We’re more interested in your work than in your exhibition history or education so don’t let lack of “art world experience” discourage you from submitting.
