Clockhouse, a literary journal with a decade-long commitment to publishing diverse voices, invites artists to submit work for the cover of Volume 14. This open call is for a single image that will serve as the visual entry point to the issue, standing alongside a range of literary content. The selected artwork will be featured on the cover, offering the artist significant visibility within the journal's readership and the broader literary community. The curatorial vision emphasizes color and accessibility. The editors seek vibrant, dynamic work that employs a rich palette and engages a broad audience. While representational styles are preferred, abstract and surreal approaches are also considered, provided they remain approachable. This is not a call for esoteric or conceptually dense work; rather, it is an opportunity for art that communicates directly and warmly, complementing the diverse writing within. Artists are limited to three submissions, and there is no fee to enter. The journal does not specify a prize or honorarium, but the selected work will be reproduced on the cover of Volume 14. The deadline is exact: November 16, 2026. Submissions must be in portrait orientation, at least 8 x 12 inches, at 300 DPI, and in JPG or JPEG format. This is a chance to place your work in front of a literary audience that values visual art as an integral part of the reading experience.
