Call for pitches!
We are getting started on the next issue of Visual Arts News magazine and are opening a call for pitches. We want to hear from writers, artists, and critics who are paying attention to what is happening across Atlantic Canada. That might mean spending time with an artist’s work, spending time with a show, or following an idea that keeps unfolding. We are interested in writing that feels close to the work and rooted in the Maritimes. We publish features, profiles, and exhibition reviews. We also commission online-only pieces throughout the year. As always, we prioritize work that challenges white supremacy and colonialism. Our approach is grounded in anti-oppression and anti-racism, and we support Indigenous sovereignty, Black liberation, Queer positivity, and gender diversity.
Pitch deadline: May 8, 2026
Draft deadline: June 10, 2026
