Submissions & Editorial Guidelines

NOTE: At this time, we are not currently accepting new submissions.

Big Red and Shiny is a Boston-based art magazine dedicated to publishing and promoting criticism, research, and perspectives on contemporary art in Boston. BR&S accepts concise, thoughtful pitches from contributors from Boston, New England and beyond.

Please review our previous posts to familiarize with our editorial style, and limit your pitch to 150 words. If you have not previously published with us, please include two writing samples of no more than 1,000 words each. Also, please remember that our editorial staff is small and all-volunteer, so, therefore, will respond to your pitch as soon as possible.
