\nLaunched in Spring of 2025 and jointly overseen by The Prior Performing Arts Center and The Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Gallery,\u00a0Art Notes<\/i>\u00a0features short, singular perspectives on multidisciplinary arts events at Holy Cross and in the region. Employing a variety of written formats and critical approaches, writers\u2019 contributions are typically exploratory rather than evaluative, aiming to draw out art\u2019s resonances for a general audience. A dynamic new element of the arts ecosystem at Holy Cross,\u00a0Art Notes<\/i>\u00a0invites lively discourse on the arts of our day.\n<\/p>\nEditorial Guidelines and Submission Information<\/h3>\n
Art Notes<\/em>\u00a0is anchored by 1000-word pieces on arts events at Holy Cross and in the region in the vein of writing for\u00a04Columns<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Boston Art Review<\/a>. Other possible formats for publication include, but are not limited to: artist profiles and interviews, autocritical essays, ekphrastic essays, object-oriented essays, and process essays related to student capstone projects.\n<\/p>\n No matter the format, submissions should communicate in creative and incisive detail (a) what the object (artistic work, show, performance, etc.) is, (b) how it works\/looks\/feels\/sounds\/etc, and (c) why it matters. In pursuing these goals, writers will make intentional choices about scope and focus. They might discuss why an object matters, for instance, by reference to other works by the artist, to a longer history of work in this genre, to connections with another discipline (science, sociology, etc.) with which they are familiar, to recent local or global events, or even to personal experience. All are exciting choices, so long as they are thoughtfully framed and informed by rich evidentiary detail.\n<\/p>\n Open submissions are considered by the journal\u2019s Editorial Board, which is comprised of the journal\u2019s two editors and the journal\u2019s current\u00a0Arts Writing Fellows<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n Student writing selected for publication by the Editorial Board is sent to members of the Advisory Board for brief editorial commentary and\/or suggestions for revision. Authors\u2019 subsequent revisions receive a final review by the journal\u2019s Editors before publication.<\/p>\n The submission deadline for\u00a0Volume 2 is November 5, 2025<\/strong>.
