Women United ART MAGAZINE is excited to announce a call for artists for Issue IX | Autumn & Winter 2024, curated by Debbie Morton, gallery owner, curator, and art advisor, leading the creative vision of Morton Contemporary Gallery.

Women United ART MAGAZINE stands tall as an international quarterly print and digital publication dedicated to showcasing the brilliance of women in the arts, highlighting extraordinary creatives, inspiring industry leaders and remarkable art organizations.

Selected artists will be able to review their pages before printing. All artists who submit their work will receive a free digital version of the publication.

GUEST CURATOR
Debbie Morton, gallery owner, curator, and art advisor, leads the creative vision of Morton Contemporary Gallery, which operates two locations in the heart of Philadelphia along with its 'Art Consultancy' division. Morton Contemporary embodies both an ethical and aesthetic vision, reflecting a deep commitment to equity and inclusion. The gallery represents a dynamic roster of around 35 innovative artists, both emerging and established, from across the globe, with a focus on cutting-edge mixed-media work. Its diverse collection ranges from original paintings on canvas to sculpture, photography, and limited-edition giclées, offering a wide array of contemporary art forms.

Debbie Morton has worked tirelessly to build a creative enterprise that seeks to transcend the mere sale of beautiful art. "I see my gallery as a vehicle for change," she explains. "First, I am proud to run a woman-owned business, with an all-female staff. Our curation is driven by a focus on equity and inclusion, and we actively work to recruit artists of color and female artists."

The gallery also champions two critical political causes as part of its mission for change. It has partnered with organizations to combat gun violence, including the renowned Giffords Foundation, and is deeply engaged in advocating for prison reform. This commitment is reflected in the gallery’s recent exhibition, WE ARE ALL DOING TIME, which focuses on the lives of 5 artists who have been severely impacted by America's crisis of mass incarceration, and the new artist in residency program for incarcerated artists which will launch in 2025. 

ELIGIBILITY
We welcome all women-identifying artists working in 2D and 3D formats, regardless of their age, career stage, education, location, ethnicity.

GUIDELINES

Too Close Reading: Flash Fiction, Asceticism and Pleasure
Thursday, November 21
4 - 5:30 PM

This year’s OSU Zacher Lecture in the Humanities will feature Merve Emre, writer for "The New Yorker," "The Atlantic" and more. She’ll discuss “miniaturism,” also known as "flash fiction" or "the short-short story." This emerges as an aesthetic strategy for focusing on the disciplined study of grammar over figuration. In this genre, grammar often is inseparable from gender, and gender is inseparable from forms of literary labor that are regularly trivialized, devalued and rendered invisible. Through the promotion of too close reading, or reading at the smallest scale possible, miniaturism reveals the unappreciated relationship between literary asceticism and literary pleasure. A reception with the artist will follow. This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are requested. Follow the link to RSVP.
