PITCH YOUR STORY BY MAY 09, 2021

We are seeking contributors for CreatedHere Magazine Issue 17: creativity.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I’m just not creative”? It is a common belief that creativity is something only artists are born with, but we know the secret: creativity is something we all share, and, like a muscle, creativity can be practiced and strengthened. It is a powerful tool not just for artists – it is an asset in any field.

This issue is a love letter to creativity. It is intended to inspire fellow creatives, awaken creativity that has laid dormant, and add to the growing body of evidence for the value and impact of creative pursuits.

We are seeking:

  • Observations of the diverse creative process. How is your process different than other artists?

  • Discussions of creativity in education and exercises that awaken creativity. Can creativity be taught?

  • Research-backed discussions on creativity and the brain. What is creativity and how does it affect us?

  • Stories of artists and designers applying their creativity in unlikely fields and unexpected ways. What is the impact of creativity outside of the artist studio?

We are open to any and all ideas that creatively fit this theme within the scope of visual art, craft, or design in New Brunswick. Only complete submissions will be considered. Please click HERE for the submission checklist and full details on how we select featured artists.

With thanks to the Sheila Hugh Mackay Foundation and the New Brunswick College of Craft & Design for funding our contributor fees, we offer payment of $120-$250 depending on contribution size.

SELECTED CONTRIBUTORS WILL THEN PROVIDE WRITINGS AND IMAGERY BY JUNE 06, 2021.

ISSUE 17 WILL LAUNCH IN SEPTEMBER 2021.
