The Brussels Review invites artists and photographers from around the world to submit their work for digital and print consideration. We are seeking bold, original visual voices to be featured on our website and across our print publications. Selected contributors may also be invited to exhibit their work at our upcoming international exhibition, organized in collaboration with esteemed cultural partners.
In particular, we are looking for work that challenges conventions, explores identity, memory, landscape, and language, or presents the overlooked with fresh perspective. TBR values visual narratives that engage critically with the contemporary world, across all media.
Cover Feature Opportunity
Artists selected for publication may be chosen as our cover artist for future print issues of The Brussels Review, which feature prominent writers, poets, and thinkers from across the globe.
Exhibition Invitation
Selected artists will be invited to participate in TBR’s upcoming exhibitions organized in partnership with galleries, cultural institutions, and art collectives across Europe.
