CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS jejune magazine is calling for submissions and proposals from all artists, under the belief that we are all self-taught. Whether that be by high school, the internet, or college, we all seek out information and what we do with this knowledge is what makes us artists. As academic art continues to define limits for artists, perpetuating categories like ‘outsider’ and ‘naive’ art, jejune aims to redefine what it means to be self-taught and discover how we mi...ght all fit into one category. Please respond to the prompt ‘naive wisdom’ while pondering the paradox of what many call ‘naive’ art. Please continue to submit throughout February. Submissions are very open, all will not only be considered but very likely accepted: [email protected]
