Where Connections Lead Anthology

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (March 2025). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

The anthology’s theme, Where Connections Lead, invites a wide range of interpretations, both imaginative and thought-provoking. Artists are encouraged to explore how connections—between people, ideas, technology, places, or even events—create paths that bring us together, reveal truths, or lead to unforeseen consequences. This theme allows for abstract, symbolic, or representational artwork that aligns with the anthology’s essence.
