sumingising defines “emerging” by openness, not institutional markers. if you are still exploring your voice, experimenting, or seeking a quiet home for your work, you are emerging to us.

we do not care about degrees, age, or resume bullet points. we recognize that there is no single path to becoming an artist and welcome voices from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. 


| while we appreciate all submissions, it is not guaranteed to be featured in the specific issue you have submitted for.
if you have any questions, please let us know. |


we share four issues every season as a quarterly magazine: the beginning of fall, winter, spring, and summer
