Gallery Submissions

The overall theme for Issue 6 is Handmade Books. You are free to interpret this idea in whatever way feels right to you.

Strawberry Moon Magazine is inclusive and actively seeks to work with ALL artists, regardless of color, identity, talent, age, or ability. 

Themed Gallery Guidelines

If necessary, I will move submissions to different galleries if I feel they fit better somewhere else or if I don’t receive enough submissions for a particular gallery.

For the theme galleries, I would like to feature handmade books as well as the artwork in those books.

The Junky Journals – your scrappiest, chubbiest, wildest creations, stuffed with a variety of papers and artwork and bound in your favorite method.

The Fancy Creations – these are the books you’ve made using the best materials, the most complicated stitching, and the most care. These are the books that know what a book press is.

The Unusual Structures – different shapes, crazy sizes (from tiny to enormous), unique bindings, whatever makes your book different from the norm.

The Upcycled Books – these will probably overlap with the other categories, but this gallery will specifically focus on books that reuse other books. Whether it’s the cover or the pages (or both), share your handmade book that has its beginnings in another book.

You submission can either be:

1. Photos of just your book (perhaps it’s newly made and doesn’t have artwork in it yet)
2. Photos that focus on the book as well as a photo of ONE favorite spread from the book.

Please only submit ONE time per gallery. You may submit to EACH gallery, but only one per gallery, please.
