Description
We select 3-4 undergraduate students in Visual Art and showcase their work and creative process through an interview and multi-page colour spread. Student artists may be shadowed by a student editor and photographer over multiple sessions.
As the journal devotes a significant amount of space in our publication for each artist, selection is competitive. Candidates who can demonstrate a mature and progressive body of work and a serious commitment to their practice are preferred. Final selections are made through blind peer review.
Eligibility
Undergraduate students with a major or minor in Visual Arts
Must be available throughout the school year for studio visits, photoshoot, and interview
Preference is given to students who can demonstrate through their documentation, active engagement and evolution of their practice. (i.e., a number of series or set of improved works, or a lengthier project)
Artwork may be previously published or unpublished
Please remove your name from the actual images of your work, and follow the file naming conventions listed below. All entries are judged blind. Images containing the name of the artist will be removed from consideration.
