Fall 2026 Call for Submissions:

“HAUNT”

Our world is made up of a series of hauntings, some ongoing, some ending. We shape, as we are shaped by, the places we have been, and the people that we once knew: past versions of ourselves, or old friends long-forgotten. This autumn, we ask artists to give voice to these ghosts, and to bring what too often lives on the peripheries to the forefront of our minds. Submit your works to us by November 2nd.
