Openartsforum.com
Overview
Openartsforum.com operates as a magazine without a fixed geographic center, extending its call to creative practitioners worldwide. The platform's stated interest lies in work that experiments with form, imagery, and the interplay between text and visual media—a curatorial position that treats the page as a site of cross-disciplinary negotiation rather than a container for a single medium. By accepting poetry, fiction, nonfiction, essay, flash fiction, photography, music, and digital art under one submission period, the magazine positions itself as a forum where the boundaries between written and visual, sonic and textual, are not merely tolerated but actively examined. For the artist, the terms are straightforward: there is no submission fee, and the call is open globally. The absence of a prize or monetary award is not a defect but a clarification—this is a venue for publication and circulation, not a competition. What the magazine offers is editorial selection and a public platform for work that might otherwise remain in the studio or the drawer. The deadline is exact: July 24, 2027. There is no indicated reading period extension, no hidden charge, and no geographic restriction. The curatorial vision, as articulated in the call, favors experimentation over polish, interplay over isolation. A poet submitting concrete verse, a photographer working with embedded text, a composer whose scores double as drawings, a flash fiction writer whose paragraphs behave like frames—these are the kinds of practices the forum appears designed to host. The magazine does not promise development, mentorship, or production support. It promises a readership and an editorial context. For practitioners whose work lives in the seams between disciplines, that may be sufficient.
