New arts journal Canvas calls for submissions

The University’s newest arts journal, Canvas, is inviting submissions for its inaugural issue.

Canvas - a new journal run by students, supported by the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), and open to all - will help bring ECA news and events to a wider audience, and offer all students with an interest in art a chance to connect with others and share their work and ideas.

“The Canvas team hopes that the Journal will be creative, thought-provoking, and provide students and staff with an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and artistically express themselves.”

Submission Guidelines

Students across all years and disciplines are welcome to submit gallery reviews, opinion pieces, and essays, as well as creative contributions, from 3D architecture and jewellery design to poetry, photography, painting, and even music.

You can find more information in the guidelines linked below.

Submissions should be emailed as an attachment to the editors by the deadline of 1 June 2015.

Pieces selected over the summer will run in the journal’s debut issue, set for September 2015.
