Feminist Press Call for Papers
The Feminist Press is soliciting essays, personal and researched, that map the critical and scholarly intersections of chronic illness with disability and critical race studies. These might include, for example, issues primarily affecting Black women, including access to diagnosis and treatment of various cancers, notably gynecological ones. The Press welcomes work theorizing from the first person, whether in poetry, essay, comic, or hybrid form.
"In contrast to acute or terminal disease, chronic illness—which includes mental illness—takes many forms over a lifetime: chronic with pain, chronic without pain, chronic with a medical diagnosis or without one (conditions that resist clinical documentation), chronic that is life-limiting or life-threatening, with progression, progression free, or stable, visible or invisible. There is not one chronic experience."

Cannonball Arts Open Call
Cannonball Arts invites West Coast artists and curators to apply to 20 different categories, ranging from "Floating Sculpture" to "Indigenous Canoe Carvings" and "Soap Sculptures."
"We do open calls differently. As an idea-based art center, we are looking for bold and unconventional ideas, and celebrate mediums and genres often passed by. Renderings and budgets are valuable, but we are more interested in your ability to communicate your ideas and the quality of your vision. We want to show the works that other institutions won’t and elevate under-represented talents across the wide spectrum of creative self-expression."
