The Uncommon GRACkle

A project of Gateway Regional Arts Center

About

We seek works with deep, emotional resonance and empathy for the human experience. We love to be surprised or caught off guard by the work we’re reading. If you’ve got a story, poem, or piece of art that feels like it doesn’t quite belong anywhere else, it might find a safe haven with us. If you can play our heartstrings, even better. We want to share stories, poetry, and art that challenge and diversify our minds and the minds of our readers. We welcome all creators from all demographics, including marginalized writers/artists who identify as neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and/or BIPOC, to name a few.
