International Deadline: December 21, 2026 – The Untitled Space announces an international open call for “WILD AT HEART,” the first official volume of its annual WOMEN IN ART hardcover editions, celebrated with a gallery exhibition and book launch event at The Untitled Space in Tribeca, New York. Contemporary women-identifying artists worldwide are invited to submit artwork for the collectible art book and exhibition, which will also be presented online on Artsy and Artnet, launching in March 2027 for Women’s History Month.
Women in Art Volume 1: Wild at Heart‘ will be curated by Indira Cesarine, founder of The Untitled Space, with guest curators Monica King and Natalie Kates.
The inaugural edition will bring together approximately 50 selected artists in a 200-page hardcover, with every artist featured across a minimum of two pages. The book launches in March 2027 for Women’s History Month, alongside a three-month online exhibition on Artsy and Artnet.
Women in Art Volume 1‘ establishes an annual hardcover series dedicated to artistic discovery and the documentation of women’s contributions to contemporary art. Each volume explores a distinct theme, pairing substantial visual presentations with artist profiles, statements, and exclusive interviews. The inaugural edition invites artists to interpret the WILD AT HEART theme through their own creative practices.
ABOUT
‘Women in Art’ explores instinct, emotion, freedom, and the connections between our inner lives and the world around us. Love, desire, curiosity, vulnerability, rebellion, and the impulse to create can all offer points of departure. The theme welcomes personal, social, environmental, abstract, and experimental interpretations.
For centuries, women have been told to be quiet, to be tame, to be cultivated and contained: to soften their voices, temper their desires, and keep their ambitions within acceptable bounds. ‘Women in Art’ is an invitation to reclaim what was never meant to be domesticated. It celebrates the instinct that cannot be trained out, the voice that refuses to be lowered, and the imagination that grows in every direction at once. To be wild at heart is to live, and to create, on one’s own terms.
The theme is open to figurative, abstract, conceptual, and experimental artwork. Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme expansively.
