table//FEAST Literary Magazine: Art Submissions

Overview
table//FEAST Literary Magazine positions itself deliberately outside the culinary lifestyle genre, stating plainly that it is not a food magazine or recipe outlet. The publication's name suggests a gathering around a table—a site of conversation, ritual, and sustenance—but its editorial interests lie in the literary and artistic resonances of that metaphor rather than in gastronomic content. For visual artists, this call represents an opportunity to place work within a literary context, where images are read alongside text and where the sequencing of visual material carries narrative and thematic weight. The magazine operates online and remotely, which means accepted work will be encountered in a digital reading environment rather than a printed object. Artists should consider how their images function on screen—scale, color, and detail—and how they might converse with the written pieces around them. The submission fee of $3.00 (300 cents USD) is modest but present, a reminder that literary magazines often rely on such contributions to sustain their operations. There is no monetary prize attached to this call; the reward is publication and the audience that comes with it. What the editors seek is not specified in the provided guidelines, but the magazine's self-definition as not-a-food-magazine implies a curatorial vision that resists the literal and the decorative. Work that engages with themes of consumption, sustenance, hunger, or communal ritual may find resonance, but so too might work that operates in adjacent territories—the still life, the domestic interior, the social document. The absence of a stated theme is an invitation to read the magazine's existing issues and to propose work that extends its conversation rather than merely illustrating its title.
