Call for Art

We love working with artists.

T

hank you for your interest in our annual Call for Art. Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Co, we love working with a diverse range of artists to bring seed stories to life. A compelling visual design has the power to illuminate and deepen our connection to the culture, history, and beauty of seeds. We have a profound respect for the work artists do, and we love how our seed packs can be a vehicle for sharing original, contemporary artwork. In our general Call for Art, we look at existing examples of work from each artist. The call for art continues throughout the year, and we review all submissions every Spring. The 2024 Call for Art Deadline is March 8th. We consider all submissions for our Art Packs, in addition to our other artful offerings, such as: Planting Guide Posters, Wildflower Seed Shakers, Gift Boxes, Note Cards, and Pillows. We also produce Fine Art Prints and Posters, including signed limited edition prints.

Applications are submitted by completing the form below. Before completing the form, please review our guidelines for information on who can apply (note: US-based artists only); which mediums we accept; and what you'll receive if we commission your artwork (payment plus many perks!). Please use the form below to send us your information and two images of existing work (after you hit “Next"). We review all entries and get back to all applicants each year by mid-Spring. If you are selected to be a semi-finalist, we will follow up with you about what comes next in the process, depending on the project. Before final approval, we ask selected artists to create a rough sketch for each project. Here at the Hudson Valley Seed Co, we choose to fill our catalog exclusively with open-pollinated varieties, because the seeds we grow help to shape the world we live in.
