About
Submit up to 2 images of artwork related to the theme of Ghosts for potential publication in a printed, bound magazine distributed to book fairs and retailers across the UK.
Overview
Wiro Mag: Ghosts is a paperbound gallery space seeking to publish art in any medium related to the theme of Ghosts. Featured artists will be published alongside a diverse network of emerging and established artists, with their work displayed and circulated at book fairs around the UK in retailers, galleries, and online.
The Theme
An exploration of how supernatural, otherworldly, or eerie ideas can be represented through art practice—through the manipulation of mediums to create ghostly effects, haunting imagery, or compositions that convey an unfamiliar sense of being. Artists are invited to challenge these criteria and push boundaries in how these ideas are depicted.

- A double-page spread with professionally edited bio and project-specific Q&A, alongside images of submitted work
