• Un-Monument: Call for Community Voices Submissions

    Monuments, memorials, and commemorative acts preserve the past while creating shared visions for what communities can become. The stories elevated in civic spaces influence who feels recognized, represented, and included within those narratives. We want to hear how you feel about forms of public commemoration in your community. Please feel free to answer as many or as few of the questions below as you would like with a full submission or a proposal for how you might respond in the form of a 150–300 word piece. 

  • Selected Submissions:

    Submitted responses will be considered to be published in a forthcoming publication. If your response is selected, Boston Art Review will contact you to discuss how your response will be included, how your name will be displayed, and confirm any edits/updates.

    All selected submissions will receive a $150 honorarium for their work.

    Submissions will be reviewed and assigned on a rolling basis through December 15, 2026
