Open Calls for Art

call for entries: (un)altered books

Un)Altered Books: Unheard Voices invites artists to reclaim banned books and overlooked, erased, or silenced histories through visual book-based art forms. Using books as object, structure, or metaphor, artists will transform research, archives, and lived experience into powerful acts of storytelling and restoration that tell the full story of us.

This project blends art-making, research, archives, and community engagement, offering artists guided access to historical resources, bookmaking techniques, and a supportive creative cohort. This project is in partnership with the Women’s Caucus for Art – Colorado, University of Denver Libraries and the Blair Caldwell Library.

All visual media welcome, including altered books, mixed media, sculpture, painting, photography, and interdisciplinary work. The exhibition invites 2D and 3D artists.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 16th, 2026
