Call for Submissions: Writing for Art + Environment

Art + Environment seeks lively original writing that explores contemporary art, architecture, and design and its intersections with environment, nature, landscape and place in support of the practice, study and awareness of creative interactions between people and their natural, built, virtual environments. These areas are broadly defined, and the breadth of potential content expansive, extending to fields including geography, ecology, environmental studies, history, media and technology, and literature, to name a few. Art + Environment publishes blog entries, essays, and observations that blend interesting critical and research-based rigor with personal experience and journalistic edge, and reviews of books, exhibitions, programs, and projects going on in the fields inhabiting the intersections of art and environment. Art + Environment values clear, thoughtful, and articulate prose, accessible to sophisticated lay readers, as well as professional and academic readers. Send manuscripts, proposals, or queries electronically to socialnetwork@nevadaart.org. Put “Art + Environment Submission” in the subject line. Submit texts as copy in the body of the email message and as attachments, preferably Microsoft Word. Include detailed contact information. Including a best phone number may expedite the submission and publication process. Art + Environment is interested in illustrative audio-visual material: images, video, and sound files related to the submitted text(s) are welcome with appropriate citations. Supplemental audio-visual work should be accompanied with brief explanatory texts and captions. In general, text submissions should be 300-1000 words, though longer pieces may be considered for publication.
