Seems General Submission FA 2026 Issue 56
Overview
Seems, a magazine with a established presence in the contemporary creative landscape, is currently accepting general submissions for its Fall 2026 issue, number 56. This call is open to all disciplines, reflecting the publication's commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue and its broad curatorial scope. The issue will be curated with an eye for work that demonstrates rigor, originality, and a nuanced understanding of form and concept. As a no-fee submission, Seems aligns with a growing movement among independent publishers to remove economic barriers and prioritize artistic merit. The magazine's editorial team seeks to assemble a collection that resonates with the current moment while maintaining a timeless criticality. While specific themes are not prescribed, the publication has historically favored work that engages with materiality, process, and the politics of representation. Artists selected for inclusion will have their work featured in a widely distributed print and digital publication, reaching a discerning audience of peers, critics, and curators. The editorial process is collaborative, with selected contributors working closely with the editorial team to refine and contextualize their submissions. This is not a competition but a curatorial endeavor aimed at showcasing vital new work.
