Feel lucky? Feel like reading your original poetry to your peers? Feel like showing off your talent and your art work?

Then come to the Art Show and Open Mike Night Oct. 21 in the Tennessee Room of Holland McCombs. All are welcome to attend. In addition, BeanSwitch is currently taking submissions for its Dec. 3 (fall) edition. Interested parties can sign up at the event or can contact BeanSwitch faculty adviser Dr. Leslie LaChance. Artwork brought to the show can be photographed by BeanSwitch members for the publication. Artists will be contacted for approval.

Why an art show? “To generate more art submissions for the magazine and to give artists another venue to share their work,” LaChance said. “We have some awesome talent on this campus and another opportunity to see it in action.”

In addition, BeanSwitch is also accepting submissions for publication in the genres of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. Writers may submit up to five works no longer than seven pages in length in all.

Works may be submitted with a cover letter online at beanswitch@utm.edu. For more information, please contact BeanSwitch online, LaChance or Jonathan Riley, executive editor of BeanSwitch.
