About

Currant Jam is a place for independent artists to slow down, gather ideas and experiment with their creativity. We see the necessity of savoring the art-making process in our increasingly output-focused culture. By sharing unique stories, we hope to foster exciting new works. We ask artists not just to produce, but to take the opportunity to think about the ingredients and where they come from. The work we present is like any good jam: sticky, messy and organic to the maker.
In addition to our seasonal print mags, we host events around the country committed to building diverse, supportive and inspiring communities. We look forward to meeting you, helping you with your art, introducing you to new friends and hopefully igniting that creative spark.

The editors may not respond to all submissions. After waiting a reasonable amount of time, assume your submission will not be accepted.
