Newspaper Open Call -

Artists Clubhouse is launching a Newspaper!!

Yes, an actual, physical, ink-on-paper newspaper; the kind you can hold, fold, and read with your morning coffee. We're bringing back the analog life: slowing down, getting inspired, and reclaiming a bit of our time from the scroll.

We want YOUR art in our first edition, launching this October.

We're kicking off with 70 copies, but every entry fee helps us print more, so the more support we get, the bigger our reach. Your work could end up in the hands of hundreds of people.

Copies will be popping up in coffee shops across Worcester and Birmingham, ready to be picked up and enjoyed alongside a flat white. If your piece is chosen, it'll feature in the centre-fold pages of our 4-page newspaper, printed alongside your name and Instagram handle (or website/other socials if you'd rather).

Chosen artists will receive a copy of the Newspaper, a selection of Posca Pens & an Artists Clubhouse selection of goodies.

This is for every kind of creative; whether you're just starting out, doing art as a side hustle, or somewhere in between. Artists Clubhouse is about community: being celebrated, being seen, and inspiring others. We believe in the power of creativity, and in your power as a creative. It's time to get seen and share your art with the world.

All backgrounds and experience levels welcome. We're looking for a real mix of styles and themes, and we'll be featuring at least 4 artists in this edition.
