LIFE IS CHANGE: Call for Submissions
Tellus Zine seeks submissions of art & creative writing from Greater Cincinnati teens on the theme: Life is Change
CINCINNATI, [January 20, 2022] -- Tellus Zine, a digital and print magazine made by and for teens seeks creative submissions from young adults (ages of 13 to 21) for potential publication in Tellus Zine, Issue 003: Life is Change and exhibition in Kennedy Heights Arts Center’s outdoor gallery.
Led by an all-youth editorial board and showcasing visual art and creative writing by young adults from across Greater Cincinnati, Tellus’s mission is to provide a platform for young people to express themselves bravely and creatively as a part of our diverse community. For their third annual issue, the Tellus editorial board acknowledges the tumultuous nature of our present era and urges their peers to mindfully consider the only constant in life––change.
To address the rapid change in our world, we are looking for art inspired by the constant change of life. Our universe is in a constant state of movement and the balance is always shifting. If outward observations of change don’t inspire you, then look for change inside yourself.
- Celine Tan, Member of Tellus Zine Editorial Board
As a theme, Life is Change invites opportunities for visualization and open interpretation.
