Calling All Ocean-Inspired Artists: Be Part of the TIDAL ArtS Movement

Are you an artist driven by a love of the sea? Do you believe that art can inspire real change? Then this is your invitation to make waves.

TIDAL ArtS is looking for artists—visual storytellers, creators, makers—who want to use their craft to celebrate and protect our oceans, seas, rivers, and coasts. Whether you’re emerging, established, or somewhere in between, we want to hear from you.

We believe that art has the power to move people. It can change how we see the world—and how we care for it. That’s why we’re building a movement of artists across Europe who are passionate about using their creativity to raise awareness, stir emotion, and spark action for our blue planet.

What We're Looking For

We’re seeking artists who are:

🌊 Inspired by water—from ocean wildlife and coastal culture to water myths and marine conservation
🎨 Working in any medium—paint, sculpture, digital, performance, photography, textile, installation, and beyond
🌍 Based in Europe and excited to collaborate with a growing international network
🌱 Motivated by purpose—this isn’t just about creating beautiful art, but creating impact

Why Join TIDAL ArtS?

By becoming part of the TIDAL ArtS network, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Be considered for future exhibitions, collaborations, and artist residencies
  • Have your work featured on our platforms and across our international partner network
  • Connect with fellow creatives and ocean advocates
  • Be part of a wider cultural movement for environmental change

How to Apply

Visit our Call for Artists page and submit your interest by sharing a little about your work, your connection to water, and why you’d like to join the TIDAL ArtS network.

There’s no fee to apply. We’re looking for passion, purpose, and artistic vision—not perfection.
