Want to learn more about the submission process for the Artist Commune Journal? Join us for a virtual info session on Thursday, September 18 at 12:00 PM ET via Zoom. We’ll walk you through our mission, first issue, and submission form, followed by an open Q&A. This session will be recorded, and a captioned version of the video will be available at a later date on the Urban Arts Space YouTube channel.
Register for the Virtual Info Session
The Artist Commune Journal is an annual print and online community arts publication published by Urban Arts Space that reconsiders accessibility in arts research and community engagement. For our second issue, we invite you to explore the dynamic relationships between Practice | Praxis | Process and the interconnected ways we create, think, and transform through artistic work.
Building on the foundation of our first issue, we seek submissions from Central Ohio-based artists, writers, academics, and community builders that examine how artistic practice becomes a form of critical engagement with the world, how theory transforms through lived experience, and how creative processes themselves become sites of learning, connection, and change.
Accepted artists will be awarded an honorarium of $150 for their submission, and Urban Arts Space does not charge a reading fee. The Artist Commune Journal will have a limited print edition as well as an online version.
DEADLINE: October 15, 2025, 11:59 PM ET
