We are currently open for submissions from January 19-March 2 2025.
WINTER/SPRING 2025
Theme: A Wish
2026. Can you believe it? A quarter of the way into the 21st century and it is going a bit differently than we pictured. We'd like to see a world at peace, working together within our counties, states, provinces, countries towards a future where both we and the planet can thrive together.
Let's make a wish together using art. What would you wish for? Through art perhaps we can manifest it - or move closer in the direction to it. So much intention goes into creative practice.
In visual art - line after line of painstaking brushstrokes, putting our desires into our paintings which each motion, each thought. Feeling with the piece what feels right and bringing it to life.
In culinary art - the thought behind which ingredients to use and how they will complement each other in the overall flavor of the dish; the practice of
perfecting a recipe until it is just right.
Intentionality behind every action, with an unspoken wish to create a dish that
makes those who eat it pause and savor it. That's magic being born.
In writing - words flow forth, sometimes in organized sentences, sometimes in
staccato phrases or unexpected flow. Each word means something to the sentence, to the whole, to the reader, to the world. Intention behind everything. Words leap off the page with the life of their own.
For this edition, make a wish with us! Imagine the power that a wish can have
combined with the practice and dedication of you the artist. Put that energy and desire into your piece and let's see if we can manifest good in the world. Share your wish through writing, visual art, or creative recipes. You may submit 2 recipes or poems or visual art pieces or short stories in each
category.
