Artists on the Lam is thrilled to announce the launch of our inaugural zine, Laminator! All artists, poets, and writers from anywhere in the world are welcome to submit work for publication!
In an ever increasingly digital world, we often find ourselves seeking ways to unplug, searching for the tangible, the analog, something tactile and physical we can touch and hold with our own hands, something to keep and cherish as a memento, as ephemera, something to lose, something to find, something to give and share with a loved one like a secret.
And, much like the soothing sounds of a pencil scratching on paper, there’s just something about the feel of flipping through the pages of a good book.
What we’re looking for:
Visual art (all mediums and forms are welcome! examples:)
- Drawing
- Painting
- Photography
- Printmaking
- Collage
- Etc.!
Poetry
Prose
- All forms are welcome, including non-fiction such as personal essays, anecdotes, letters, etc.!
There’s no theme; submit your best work! (But if that’s too broad for you and you’d like some guidance, here’s a theme Artists on the Lam has always been obsessed with: Dreams. Interpret that however you wish.)
There’s no application fee! It’s free to submit to the zine!
Ready to apply? Complete the steps at http://www.artistsonthelam.com/zine-open-call (includes an optional additional opportunity for artists in the form of an online art show)

Callout for artists, makers and performers! Expressions of Interest and applications for WAF Grant funding are open now to be part of next summer’s Wandsworth Arts Fringe festival, from 7-23 June.
Every Summer, WAF brings together hundreds of creatives in a bold and boundary pushing annual line-up of cutting-edge theatre and dance, brand new music, exhibitions, comedy, performance art, outdoor extravaganzas and everything in between, taking place across the borough of Wandsworth.
Wandsworth Arts Fringe is a proudly inclusive, open-access festival. We pride ourselves on being a testing ground for bold, experimental work, and we’re looking for professional and emerging artists who want to present their work to new audiences.
Plus, Wandsworth's going for London Borough of Culture 2025 so we really want to showcase the fantastic creative home we live, work and play in with our most exciting, diverse programme yet.
Whatever kind of creative practitioner you are, if you want to try out new ideas, connect with creative networks and be part of something that thrills, moves and inspires audiences from across London and beyond, WAF wants you!
Express your interest online by 5pm on Thu 14 Dec 2023, or find out more about taking part via our website.
Filling out an Expression of Interest form is a non-committal way of telling us your plans and letting us know if you need any help or advice. You don’t need to have a clear idea of what you’d like to do, and we won’t hold it against you if your project does not come to fruition for any reason!
Need support? WAF offers up to £2,000 per project via our WAF Grants scheme to help fund project ideas that meet our strategic aims, plus the Wandsworth Grant Fund supports arts and culture projects taking place in the borough with awards of up to £10,000.
WAF also offers 50% off registration fees for artists under 26 or for artist collectives with over half of their members aged under 26.
