“Origins”

As Artemis Journal approaches its 50th Anniversary, we honor not only where we began, but the deeper idea of origins—the places, voices, and sparks that shape who we become. 

Every remarkable transformation starts as a single idea—a tiny seed that can grow and thrive with care.

Artemis was born in the basement of the Roanoke YWCA, where storytelling helped women reclaim power, healing, and self-expression. That spirit of emergence still guides us.

For our 50th Anniversary, we invite artists and writers to explore their own beginnings: the roots that ground us, the moments that transformed us, the mentors and communities that uplifted us, and the stories and art that help us rise.

Join us on this journey as we celebrate our 50th anniversary and cultivate a future full of potential and inspiration!
