In our celebration of music in all its forms, Half Mystic Journal is proud to spotlight one contemporary visual artist per issue, known as our Featured Artist. We typically conduct an interview with them for our blog and journal, feature 13 to 15 of their pieces in the issue, and showcase their work on our website. The suite of pieces we feature is always inspired in some way by the issue's theme, the poetry and prose in the issue, and the idea of music as a whole.

To apply to illustrate our next issue, please send a cover letter and five to ten examples of previous art, in any medium. Colour and black-and-white work are both accepted, and your portfolio need not be music-centred. Should you be chosen as a featured artist, we'll be in touch within two weeks to discuss the theme we have in mind for you to illustrate.
