Arts Journal Accepting Submissions for its Second Issue

Chicago, Illinois, 27 April 2009

The Gothic Funk Nation is currently accepting submissions for the second issue of its arts journal, The Paramanu Pentaquark. The first issue, available by CD-ROM and online (for free at http://www.gothicfunk.org) was released in February 2009. The journal is an eclectic collection of music, painting, photography, poetry, and purpose that runs a line from the evocative to the visceral. Common themes include diversity, emotional intensity, and the urgency of communication; this is not a project given to passive pessimism or reluctant daydreams.

Our second issue will be published this upcoming August, and art in any medium may be submitted via our website at http://www.gothicfunk.org/parapenta/submissions/. Submissions will be considered as Images, Sounds, or Words, and artists will be notified of our decision within one to two months. In addition to publication, accepted artists will receive a free copy of a limited print CD-ROM of the second issue, and an invitation to present their work at an official launch event hosted in Chicago. While we do archive previously published work, archives cannot be accessed online and are only available to individuals upon request; this is for the protection of our artists.

To submit your work, please visit http://www.gothicfunk.org/parapenta/submissions/
