Every artist wants to be seen, by curators, by collectors, by the world that matters.
Ask Kurt was created to help make that happen.
We give your work the context and visibility that open real doors, from editorial features to lasting digital presence.
Show us what you are creating. If it connects with our vision, we will reach out personally and transparently.
There is no pressure, only a clear invitation you can see and decide on.
What Ask Kurt Is
Ask Kurt is a curated space for artists who want their work to be seen, recognised, and appreciated beyond fast-scrolling feeds.
We look for art that carries intent and depth, work that speaks, lingers, or asks questions worth asking.
Every introduction is reviewed by us, Ernst and Dominique. No automation, no filters, just attention and care.
How We Work
1 – Share What You Create

We spend time with each submission. If your work connects with what we are currently curating, we will contact you.

Our Perspective
We know sharing your work takes courage.
That is why we take every introduction seriously.
There are no barriers, no hidden rules, no empty promises.
When we invite you, it is because we find your work exceptional, and we will treat it as such.
If your work connects with what we are building, we make space for it.
If not, it is never a rejection, just a moment that is not right yet.

FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I pay to apply?
No you do not. Submission is completely free. We only ask for payment if your work is selected for a feature.
What happens if I am selected?
You’ll receive an email with a personalized feature offer and clear pricing options. You can ask questions, take your time, and decide if you would like to proceed
Are all submissions accepted?
We curate selectively, focusing on what fits our current vision. Not every submission will be featured, and that’s simply part of the process. If your work isn’t selected, it’s about direction, not value.
Where will my work appear?
That depends on the feature option you choose. Possibilities include our Instagram feed and Stories, a website feature, and inclusion in our newsletter. Details are always shared in your personal offer.
Will the Story Spotlight disappear after 24 hours?
No. It runs in Stories within 24 hours and is saved permanently in our Spotlights Highlight on the profile.
How many people will see it?
On average, our platform generates more than 350,000 monthly views across Instagram, our website, and our newsletter.
What is the pricing range?
Features range from €15 to €119 depending on format and reach. Story Spotlights start at €15. Full editorial features with an article and newsletter inclusion go up to €119.
How long until I hear back?
We review submissions continuously. If your work is selected, we’ll get in touch by email. If you don’t hear from us, it simply means your work wasn’t the right fit this time, but we truly appreciate your submission..
Will my submission be kept private?
Yes. We never share your work publicly unless you are selected and agree to a feature
What if I’m not selected?
Not being selected doesn’t mean your work isn’t good. It simply didn’t align with our current curatorial direction. You are welcome to resubmit when your practice evolves or you have new work to share.
Free submission. Personal review. Honest curation.
If your work fits, we'll be in touch.
This is Ask Kurt. Curated. Selected.
