How Art In Reply Works?
A dialogue of creation. A web of responses. A living magazine.
Art In Reply is a magazine born from the belief that art in a conversation. It doesn't live in isolation - it echoes, responds, evolves. One artist creates. Another replies. And somewhere between the two, something bigger begins to take shape.
​
We are not a gallery. We are not a portfolio.
We are a poetic structure that lets artists speak to one another - across mediums, disciplines, and distances.
​
This is how it all flows.

The Foundation: Themes
Each issue invites artists to submit either:
-
A standalone piece that expresses something personal within that theme
-
A reply to a selected work from a previous issue or internal prompt
Or both.
You are welcome to submit twice - once as a standalone, and once as a reply.
2
Submit Your Work
You can submit your piece in any creative form: visual, written, musical, performative, or beyond.
​
Visual submissions can include painting, illustration, photography, sculpture, digital art, etc.
Written submissions may include poetry, pose, experimental text, etc.
Sound-based or performative work (like dance or music) can be featured through stills, written reflection or QR codes/links linking to short videos or recordings.
​
Each issue curates a selection of standalone pieces and responses, weaving them into a single narrative experience.

How Replies Work
If your piece is selected, it may be:
-
Featured as a standalone
-
Chosen to receive a reply
-
Paired with a piece you've chosen to respond to
In every issue, you'll find original works and their echoes - dialogues formed between strangers across disciplines.
Some pieces stand boldly alone. Others shimmer with the energy of conversation.
​
You do not need to submit a reply to be featured - but you're warmly invited to.

Returning Artists / Replies
Returning artists replying to work from the previous issue are encouraged to read the previous issue for context.
Selected artists from each issue are welcome back to submit to the next issue for free.
We believe in long-form relationships, not one-time appearances.
Art In Reply is a magazine - but also a growing network of artists who inspire and challenge one another.

New Artists / New Voices
You do not need purchase or reference the previous issue to start a new thread. Simply create work that responds to the overarching theme of the upcoming issue.​

The Issue Structure

-
A thematic curation of original artworks
-

-

​
Our goal is connection. To be the telephone wire between artists. To be the excuse for that unexpected call. To spark momentum in the quiet spaces between creations.
