About the magazine
The Menu is an online platform for experimental and process-driven artistic practices, founded to provide a non-hierarchical space for works that resist conventional exhibition formats. Since its inception, it has operated as a seasonal publication and commissioning body, inviting artists to respond to open calls that prioritize inquiry over finished product. Its core mission is to foster a community of practitioners who value critical dialogue, material exploration, and the sharing of unfinished or speculative work.
Submitting your work
Reading periodOpen now
Artists should approach The Menu with a clear articulation of their process and a willingness to share work-in-progress. Submissions for each season are typically open for a limited window; check the website and social channels for exact dates. Proposals should include a concise project description, visual or textual documentation, and a brief artist statement. The selection committee values conceptual rigor, material curiosity, and a demonstrated engagement with the platform's ethos of experimentation. There is no fee to apply, and international artists are encouraged to submit.
