Ask Kurt – Get Seen. Get Connected
Ask Kurt is your entry point into the Munchies Art Club circle: curated visibility, direct access, and features that last. Submission is free. Selection is curatorial.
Ask Kurt – More Than a Call. It’s Placement.
We don’t run random open calls. We don’t collect endless files.
We review, select, and place artists where it matters.
Submissions are reviewed and only selected works will be featured - we maintain a high curatorial standard.
Our Process
- Submissions are reviewed within 3-5 days by our remote curatorial team across Europe.
- If at least three out of five curators are convinced, you will receive a paid offer to feature.
- Selected artists remain on our radar for future thematic articles, newsletters, and long-term placement.
Ask Kurt is not a one-time opportunity. We create momentum for the artist long term. It is an entry into a curated circle that keeps evolving.
Why Ask Kurt?
Because your work deserves more than hashtags.
Because we place artists, not ads.
Because visibility works when it is curated.
This September we are curating 11 new names.
One of them could be you.
"Ask Kurt is not a one-time opportunity. We keep your work for future blog posts, thematic features, and to spot trends in contemporary art - before they become trends."

FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Ask Kurt?
Ask Kurt is not an AI tool. It’s a curated system run by real people – curators, artists, and art lovers – working globally to make outstanding artistic positions visible. We use structured formats and digital workflows so that our partners – whether remote or temporary – can instantly access submissions, review them, and make decisions collectively.
Why does Ask Kurt exist?
Because we no longer run traditional open calls. Instead, we give every artist the chance to submit their work for our main feed.
Selection is based on clear criteria: quality, curatorial momentum, originality, impact, potential, and how well it fits our feed. Follower count, age, education, or academic background do not matter.
Is there a cost involved?
Yes, features are part of a paid package – but priced far below the cost of running a comparable Meta ad, with the advantage that we already have a highly engaged audience and a trusted reputation that values your appearance across our social media and web ecosystem.
