This year’s theme is “transformative nature.”
 
Change is the only constant, as they say, and in an effort to begin envisioning a future that is more equitable, weird, and wonderful for all, Artemis Journal encourages work that moves beyond narrow conceptions of both gender and environment.
The Greek Lunar Goddess, Artemis is our journal’s perpetual muse. She is the protector of wild animals, the wilderness, women, and children. This year, allow Artemis’ light to illuminate new pathways that prioritize the wild over the well-tread.
