Dear David,
ART PAPERS is planning to focus on African-American art and artist
for the July/August 1988 publication. This issue will feature the
National Black Arts Festival, (Summer '88, Atlanta,) as well as the
Harlem Renaissance Show at the High Museum. Works of particular
artist, some of the most nationally known and others of a more local
or regional reputation will be presented and highlighted. This issue
will continue the dialogue we began in our November/December 1985
(Volume 9, Number 6) issue, "A/The Black Aesthetic."

ART PAPERS is a unique Atlanta based bimonthly arts journal of
national scope and readership, presenting the artist and the arts of
the Southeastern states to the region and the nation. ART PAPERS,
while providing essential services to these artist, educates and
informs the general public of contemporary art issues and activities
surrounding the arts. No other regional publication is so directed
toward serious, critical attention to the visual arts and artist of
this area, while at the same time, reporting the debates and current
trends on the national and international art scene.

We are now accepting proposals and outlines for essays, articles,
reports and, or, interviews pretaining to a/the Black aesthetic, or
works and experiences of the African-American artist. We are
especially intterested in reports of activities and artist connected
to the Southeastern states. Submissions may be full length articles,
no longer than 2500 words of 8 to 15, typed double spaced pages.
Shorter statements and photographs of art works will also be
considered. Art works will be used as illustrations and should be
camera ready or halftoned. The deadline for selected submissions is
May 1, 1988. Please send outline and/ or proposal as soon as
possible so that we may have time for serious selection. Payment for
published works will be in copies plus a small honoraium. For further
information, please contact Glen Harper, Editor-in Chief.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Sincerely,
