A celebration of text, visuals, and how they come together to create something unique, Word Art was born from a writing critique group whose members also happen to be visual artists. Curated from a 2024 submission call, these works are the product of a widespread exploration that plays with the bounds of word and art. Equal parts experimental and rooted in the tradition of literary magazines, Word Art exists at the intersection of art, technology, words and paper.
