Visual Overture Magazine

Introducing Emerging Artists to Galleries, Curators, and Collectors

Opportunity for Artists

Visual Overture Magazine selects 7 emerging artists for feature in our publication each quarter. Selected artists are presented on a two-page spread with images of their work, interview questions, artist statement, and contact details. Artists displayed in Visual Overture benefit from our highly targeted distribution list consisting of 200+ galleries, curators, collectors, and a growing subscription readership. In addition, each selected artist receives 3 complimentary copies of the issue in which they are featured.

We also occasionally offer specialized competitions for specific sections of the magazine. Currently we have the "Spotlight on the South" competition which will feature one emerging artist from the United States who lives in VA, NC, SC, GA, or FL and whose work represents the cultures and attitudes of the South.

Emerging professional artists working in any media 18 years and older may submit to the Visual Overture Magazine competitions. An emerging professional artist is defined as a person who is not currently enrolled in any undergraduate courses, and is consistently working to establish a career in the visual arts field.
