Stone Canoe

Submitting your work

Artists should first review the current call for visual art, which typically opens in the fall. Submissions are accepted through the journal's online portal, and there is no fee for entry. Work in any medium is considered, but applicants are advised to submit a cohesive body of work rather than disparate images. Because Stone Canoe prioritizes regional connections, artists with a demonstrable link to Upstate New York—whether through residence, education, or thematic focus—are especially encouraged. Include a concise artist statement and image list with details. Response times can be lengthy, so plan accordingly and avoid simultaneous submissions to multiple categories within the same cycle.

Submissions are only accepted through our Submittable service. Your cover letter must detail your connection to Upstate New York (i.e. where and when you lived in the region), or it will not be read.
