What You Get When You Subscribe to e-flux Announcements

Updated

Subscribing to e-flux announcements gives you a weekly email digest of exhibitions, open calls, and institutional programs from the international art world, plus invitations to screenings, talks, and public programs e-flux presents in New York and elsewhere. It is a free-to-sign-up editorial newsletter rather than a membership: you enter an email address, confirm your subscription from your inbox, and then receive announcements. The main condition is that you agree to e-flux's privacy policy so your address can be used to send you these announcements.

What the announcements cover

The subscription is organized into several streams, so the content you receive depends on which ones e-flux is sending to your address:

  • Announcements — exhibitions, open calls, and institutional programs from across the international art world.
  • Agenda — news from galleries, art spaces, and publications.
  • Criticism — reviews of exhibitions and books.
  • Architecture — a global overview of exhibitions, publications, and conversations shaping architecture and design.
  • Film — artists' cinema, screenings, and critical perspectives on moving image culture.
  • Education — art education opportunities, including calls for applications, academic positions, and conferences.
  • Events — weekly invitations to screenings, talks, and public programs presented by e-flux in New York and elsewhere.

In practice, a single digest mixes these: the sample listings on the subscription page show dated announcements tied to venues and projects such as LABoral Art and Industrial Creation Centre, Swedenborg House, MAXXI L'Aquila, Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, the Igor Zabel Association, and Pirelli HangarBicocca, alongside Agenda items from galleries and collectives.

How to subscribe

  1. Go to the e-flux subscribe page.
  2. Enter your email address in the sign-up field.
  3. Read and accept the privacy policy statement, which confirms e-flux may send announcements to that address and that your data will be processed for this purpose.
  4. Submit the form.
  5. Check your inbox for a confirmation email and confirm the subscription — the page states that a confirmation message is sent after you submit.

The expected result is a confirmed subscription and a recurring flow of announcements; the page describes these as weekly invitations and announcements.

What to expect once you are subscribed

  • A recurring digest, not a one-off. Announcements arrive on an ongoing basis, with the page describing weekly invitations to screenings, talks, and public programs.
  • Institutional rather than personal recommendations. The content is drawn from exhibitions, open calls, and programs submitted by art institutions worldwide, so it functions as a discovery feed for what is happening across the field.
  • Multiple subject areas in one place. Because Agenda, Criticism, Architecture, Film, and Education are all part of the same announcement system, you may see calls for applications and academic positions next to exhibition reviews and film screenings.
  • A New York events thread. Events specifically cover programs e-flux presents in New York and elsewhere, which is useful if you are local to or visiting that city.

Common sticking points

  • Confirmation is required. If you submit the form but do not confirm from your inbox, the subscription will not be active.
  • The privacy-policy checkbox is mandatory. The form ties submission to agreeing that e-flux may email you and process your data for that purpose.
  • Volume can be high. Since announcements span exhibitions, open calls, architecture, film, and education, expect a steady stream rather than occasional mail; the confirmation step is the point at which you can decide whether the mix suits you.

If your goal is to track exhibitions, open calls, and institutional programs internationally, or to hear about e-flux's own screenings and talks, the announcement subscription is the direct route. If you only want criticism or only want architecture and design news, check which streams the sign-up offers before confirming, so the digest matches your interests.
