Our Criteria for Accepting Submissions

Art is a medium through which we human beings witness, process, feel, hope, imagine, and create. It is a practice and a craft and a spiritual experience. As such an important factor in our experience of the world, it must be relevant in the realm of social justice. In fact, artistic engagement can build empathy, an important step along the path to justice. To that end, we deem it necessary to have a platform that accepts and publishes art that engages with justice.

We are not looking for great art, just good enough. And if it is really good, then that is a plus. We obviously won’t accept mean, cruel or hateful expressions. But if you send us your best artistic effort, and focus on what you think is important in our collective search for a more just world, then we are likely to publish it.

Perhaps you feel strongly, maybe you’re mad, sad, or scared. Maybe you have strong judgments or opinions. Maybe you are motivated to change things with hope, vision and action. If so, this is a space to express all of that. For example, it could be an op-ed, essay, poem, song, photo, or painting.  Essentially, we encourage you to find the artist within you to express yourself using words, music, or visual imagery. We want to hear from you.
