An open call to emerging artists on Tezos
Every month, ACTZ commissions 20 artists to create original 1/1 artworks and mint them as NFTs on the Tezos blockchain. Artists can submit their portfolio through monthly open calls. Selected artists are asked to mint their creations then list them via auction with a 50 XTZ reserve. ACTZ curators place the opening bid and promote the auction on social media. Each month, special guest curators are invited to participate. Curators receive funding to place auction bids, and if successful, the artwork is added to their collection.
Theme:
The Theme for April is Mirror
Reflection has long been a powerful visual and conceptual tool in art—revealing hidden perspectives, creating symmetry, and challenging the viewer’s perception of reality.
Mirrored art uses reflection or duplication to create balance, distortion, or repetition within an image. This can be achieved through literal reflections (such as water, glass, or physical mirrors) or through digitally or manually mirrored compositions where forms are duplicated across an axis. The result often produces a sense of symmetry, kaleidoscopic structure, or uncanny familiarity—where the image feels both recognizable and transformed.
Artwork:
Commissioned art MUST be new work, that has not been minted or sold before. Final artwork should be minted as a 1/1 (single edition) NFT on the tezos blockchain.
Deadlines:
As some mediums can take longer to produce than others deadlines are flexible, however, we would prefer the artwork to be completed within 1 month of being commissioned.
Gallery:
The selected artists will be featured in the ACTZ Gallery on objkt.com. Minting instructions will be provided.
