Call for Contributors: Upcoming Issues

SNAPline is our publication focused on printmaking and contemporary art writing, and is published three times annually. We are interested in hearing your ideas on topics related to printmaking that engage, critique, and/or challenge our notions of print works. Contributions could include: editorials or essays; exhibition, book, or film reviews; artist interviews or profiles; visual essays, illustrations, or comics…and more. Each publication has a specific theme; you’re invited to pitch us an idea to the theme that interests you. We look forward to hearing from you!

2025.2: Rabbit Hole

For our next edition of SNAPline, we’re diving into the allure and peril of the creative rabbit hole. We’re seeking submissions that explore the impulse to explore beyond the obvious and follow threads of fascination and absurdity. Where does curiosity lead us? What happens when we spiral into ideas, images, or internet wormholes and emerge transformed? Have you ever become consumed by an idea? By a project?

We’re especially interested in perspectives grounded in printmaking and print culture, but welcome a range of interpretations, including but not limited to Articles, Interviews, Visual Essays, Illustration & Comics, which are all celebrated and welcomed.

Send your pitch to [email protected], following the submission guidelines below.

Pitch submission deadline: September 6, 2025

Draft deadline: September 27

Final copy deadline: October 7

Publishing: Late October
