Artsy Tribute to Film

Dive into the cinematic world with our latest art initiative, "Artsy Tribute to Film".

This call for art celebrates the indelible impact of films on our imagination, emotions, and artistic expressions. We're seeking artists who draw inspiration from the silver screen, transforming their admiration for films, actors and actresses, directors and so on, into captivating pieces of art. Whether it's a classic that has moved you, a recent gem that has intrigued you and resonated with you, or a film character that has stayed with you long after the credits rolled, we want to see how these visual stories are reimagined through your artistic lens.

Don't forget to include the title of the film or the name of the character that inspired your artwork, along with the title, medium, and dimensions of your works.

Finalists will see their work celebrated and recognised by a global audience, including film enthusiasts, art lovers, collectors, curators, and fellow artists. The selected pieces will be highlighted in the Midsommar edition of our "100 Artists" book series, distributed worldwide. This volume, dedicated to the fusion of cinema and art, aims to showcase 100 contemporary artists who channel the essence of films and cinematography into their art, inviting viewers into a unique exploration of storytelling through visual means.

This edition will uphold Artit's commitment to being a vibrant platform where artists communicate their vision, igniting discussions and inspiring action through cinematic tributes. By featuring your work, we aim to celebrate your unique contribution, acknowledging the powerful dialogue between film and art. In addition to publication, selected artists will receive a certificate of recognition and have their works promoted across Artit's digital channels, solidifying their role in today's dynamic art scene. Whether you're an established artist or just starting out, embrace this opportunity to let your art shine in a dialogue with the world of film.
