Charcoal Magazine, a magazine sponsored by the Howard Thurman Center for Common Ground that features and celebrates artists of color primarily, is accepting submissions for the fourth issue, titled "believe." Submissions are open until Dec 1, 2019. Charcoal is looking for photography and written submissions for the next issue.
Submit your work to be featured in our fourth issue, believe.
"Our beliefs guide and shape who we are and how we interact with the world. To believe means to 'accept something as true; have faith, especially religious faith; feel sure that someone is capable of a particular action.' What have you accepted as your truth? Who or what has affected your beliefs? What do you believe in?"
We welcome submissions for all visual art, artist projects, conversations, interviews, and articles (opinion, essay, narrative, etc.). Please read these guidelines carefully!
Send your submissions to submit@charcoalmag.co with the subject: "Believe Submission/Your Name". Submit all images in JPEG or TIFF format; submit written submissions as PDF.
All images and writing must be original and exclusive to Charcoal. Submissions must explore the Believe theme in some way. The more general the angle is, the less likely we are to consider it.
Submissions must center around the POC experience in relation to the arts + to the theme in order to be considered. This includes fashion, music, dance, art, lifestyle, subcultures, and more.
As a contributor, we will provide you with a .pdf of your spread, cover, and table of contents, as well as a printed copy of the magazine as a token of thanks for dedicating your time and creativity to this project.
We're here to support you! Make sure to include the following with your submission:
(1) artist statement, 250 words or less
(2) personal bio, 100 words or less
(3) link to social media or portfolio (optional)
