Gulf Stream Magazine, though predominantly a literary journal, maintains a dedicated visual art section that seeks to complement its written content with original work across mediums. The magazine's curatorial stance is deliberately eclectic, embracing both the pretty and the ugly, the loud and the quiet, with an emphasis on freshness and originality. This call is not for a themed exhibition but for ongoing issues, offering artists a platform within a literary context that reaches a broad readership. Selected artists receive publication in the magazine, inclusion of their artist bio, website, and social media links, but no monetary compensation at this time. The magazine's commitment is to provide exposure and a platform for up-and-coming artists, positioning their work alongside contemporary literary voices. The editorial team values work that is original and considers any medium, including painting, drawing, photography, graphic illustrations, and photos of installations or sculptures. The submission process is straightforward: no more than five pieces per submission, each image file titled correctly as the artist wishes it to appear. There is no submission fee, aligning with the magazine's aim to be accessible. The deadline is exact: November 5, 2026. Artists are encouraged to review the magazine's theme description for additional guidelines, though the overarching criterion remains fresh and original work.
