When will I find out about my submission results?
Due to the large volume of submissions received for each open call, it may take us up to 5 weeks to review each submission and come to final decisions. All applicants will be notified of their final results within this time frame.
Is this a paid opportunity?
Since we receive no outside funding, are an ad-free publication, do small print runs, and typically feature up to 30 contributors per issue, our proceeds are too limited to be able to pay each artist. Instead, we donate the funds to small arts organizations in alignment with our publication.
Once published in art & type, can I republish the same work?
We believe all works submitted to belong soley to the artist/contributor. We do not claim any rights to your work and we welcome you to reprint/resubmit your work as you see fit.
