Call for Submissions
Mark Makers' Quarterly, a print journal for and about rural California's art and artists, is looking for submissions for its next two issues. This quarterly magazine, based on the northern Sonoma and southern Mendocino coast, showcases artists and art from throughout California, and is available by subscription and select Northern California outlets.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Using the submission button below, email up to six high-resolution images and a brief (400-words or less) statement about your work in the first person narrative, along with (optional) a photo of you in your studio.
Think about the following questions: Why do you do what you do? What compels you to create? How does your work fit the current issue's theme? Also include any online or social media presence you would like included with your submission.
Issue #10 Theme:
SKETCHBOOKS, BOOK-MAKING, and PRINTMAKING: This issue will feature sketchbooks of all kinds. What do you like to put in your sketchbook? Do you craft hand-made books? Are you a printmaker in any medium? I want to feature you!
Deadline for Issue #10 is Sept. 30, 2026
Issue #11 Theme:
ART FOR MENTAL HEALTH: How does your art-marking help your mental health? What is it you have to do, have to create, every day, week, or month? How did a given art project help you through a tough time? Or simply, how does art-making bring you joy?
Deadline for Issue #10 is Dec. 31, 2026
