Open Call for Submissions

+ Call For Exhibition & Publication Reviewers

Pacific Arts has an ONGOING OPEN CALL for submissions on the arts of Oceania and its diasporas focusing on visual arts, material cultures, and heritage arts. The journal’s scope is temporally broad, highlighting both historical and current topics while engaging with a wide range of creative mediums, forms, and subject matter. Pacific Arts encourages interdisciplinary approaches to examining the political, social, economic, cultural, aesthetic, and environmental stakes in the production and study of Indigenous visual and material cultures in Oceania, past and present.

Please send an abstract to pacificarts@ucsc.edu. If accepted, we will ask for full-length submissions to be submitted about one month later. Contributions should follow the Pacific Arts style guide and include a metadata document (see the guide). Pacific Arts is a peer reviewed, open access online journal published by the University of California/eScholarship and encourages broad participation and circulation. 

Pacific Arts is also accepting reviews of books, media, events, and exhibitions that relate to visual and material cultures of Oceania. Please email pacificarts@ucsc.edu if you are interested in writing a review for an upcoming volume of Pacific Arts. Authors, artists, curators, and publishers interested in having their work reviewed and anyone interested in writing a review should contact pacificarts@ucsc.edu.
