The Diverse Arts Project (DAP)

About

The Diverse Arts Project (The DAP) is an online literary journal and art/cultural space. We view art as a social creation, a function of and contributor to society and politics. Art is a socially fluid form whose definition and value depends upon who (or what) is talking about it, creating it and engaging with it. It is our goal to explore the various definitions and exclusions within the art world by expanding the number and type of people who are included in the art world's dialogic and productive spaces. This is our project to diversify the arts.

Collapse section Nonfiction Believed Defunct

We publish rigorous, critical and creative non-fiction on a continual basis. With regard to style, we look for work that is narrative or creative in form and does not shy away from meaningful authorial intrusions. We publish short memoir pieces as well as critical pieces that verge on the academic. With regard to content, we seek work that relates in some way to the arts or cultural phenomena from a diverse perspective. Timeliness and newsworthiness generally are not a concern. Humor is often good, but discretion is even better.
