Open Call: Common Ground Issue 04 - An Annual Women & Non-binary Artist Zine

Borderline Press accepting submissions! Common Ground is an annual publication by Borderline Press dedicated to featuring women and non-binary artists in all stages of their career. The press invites a guest curator to collaborate with the publisher for each issue. It’s an absolute honor to be curating alongside C. Meier for this fourth issue.

We are seeking to feature photography, ceramics/sculpture, collage work, textiles, painting, installation art, poetry, creative nonfiction, printmaking, and any approach that pushes the boundaries of these artistic mediums. You may view examples of our previous issues here.

Guidelines: While the intent of this publication is to feature contemporary artists, we welcome the opportunity to share your written works in the form of poetry and short written pieces. The only requirement is that the artist submitting the work is a woman or is non-binary. Artists maintain all rights to submitted artwork.
Each artist may submit a maximum of 5 files to be considered. There is no fee for entry.
