The University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is the state’s public health, law, and human services university devoted to excellence in professional and graduate education, research, patient care, and public service.
1807 strives to encourage members of the UMB community to express themselves creatively through art and the written word. The annual journal showcases the talents of our faculty, staff, students, alumni, and the broader UMB community and neighbors in visual arts (painting, drawing, illustration, digital art, monotypes, monoprints), photography, varied media (sculpture, clay, metal, glass, textiles, jewelry, wood), and the written word (poetry). 1807 seeks high-caliber, unpublished works that broadly and creatively relate to the Council for the Arts & Culture’s themes of social justice, health, healing, the mind, and the body.
1807 is an anthology curated, edited, and produced by members of the UMB community. The goal of the publication is to promote the artists in the UMB community, to create more engagement between the UMB and West Baltimore communities, and to serve as a recruitment tool.
The deadline for submitting is April 6, 2025. Artists and authors are encouraged to submit early as the site may become overwhelmed in the hour or two before the deadline.
