CANNED, the exciting and original new magazine of art and contemporary culture is inviting submissions for its second edition.
Following the success of the inaugral edition of CANNED earlier this year, we are already developing the second edition to be published in October 2011. So this time round, inspired by CANNED's ethos of providing artists of all stages of development the chance to gain exposure and share in discussion and debate, we are actively seeking stimulating articles which are both representative of, and continue to foster, the coexistence of emerging art alongside more high profile or mainstream art.
Coming out of The NewBridge Project in Newcastle upon Tyne, this second edition of CANNED will be released in conjunction with the Turner Prize, which is being hosted at Gateshead's BALTIC in October. Again, we are looking for really unique perspectives delivered with eloquence, clarity and character.
This is an unpaid opportunity but is an excellent chance for all artists, writers and cultural critics to gain exposure. We will circulate 500 paper copies nationally and internationally (through various galleries and shops), plus we will provide coverage on the CANNED and The NewBridge Project websites and through Social Networking Channels..
