Harpur Palate — Visual Art 25.2

Overview
Harpur Palate, a literary journal with a long-standing commitment to visual art, opens its reading period for issue 25.2. The journal seeks original works across all styles, with an emphasis on how images function within an online publication. Artists are encouraged to review recent issues to understand the scale and spatial context in which their work will appear. This is not a themed call; rather, it is an opportunity to place work within a curated digital space that values visual and literary dialogue. The selected artists will have their work featured in the online issue and promoted permanently on the journal's website and social media channels. Submissions may also be considered for the cover, with the artist's approval and the understanding that the image may be adapted to fit the journal's format. All submissions are kept on file for future consideration, extending the potential visibility of the work beyond a single issue. The curatorial vision prioritizes high-quality, original images that can be presented consistently across platforms. The preferred aspect ratio of 0.69:1 (approximately 2:3) ensures a cohesive visual rhythm, though images will be adjusted to fit if necessary. The journal does not consider AI-generated work, underscoring a commitment to human authorship and material practice.
