Downtown Brooklyn: A Journal of Writing

Cover Art


Downtown Brooklyn: A Journal of Writing (the literary magazine of the Brooklyn Campus) is seeking submissions of artwork for possible use as cover art.  We can only consider submissions from Brooklyn Campus students, faculty, and staff; or from artists who have exhibited on campus.  

We prefer realistic work with an urban/Brooklyn theme, and images should translate well to our 8.5 x 11 (portrait) print format.  In order to get an idea of what types of work we look for, you may reference back issues in our online archive, or in the periodicals collection of Salena Library on the Brooklyn Campus. Please submit both slides and prints (or digital files on CD). In the past, the editors have "collaborated" with the cover artist on ideas (e.g., Issues #8, 11, and 12), and we would be interested in doing so again, if you are so inclined.

Please include your name, address, phone number, and e-mail address with your submission, which should also be accompanied by a short biographical note, in which you describe your affiliation with the Brooklyn Campus, your professional work, and any recent publications or exhibitions of your work.  See the "Biographical Notes" section of the latest issue for format.

If you are interested in submitting work for consideration, contact the Editor, Wayne Berninger.
