2026 LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

​

Dear Readers,

 

We'd like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to everyone who submitted their work for this year's edition of the journal. While receiving 154 submissions from 38 artists, we were able to select what we believe to be some of the best pieces that the community has to offer. These decisions were not easy. All submissions go through a democratic process with our editing team to ensure that selected pieces represent strong craft and thoughtful expression. This approach allowed us to focus entirely on the work itself and urate a collection of 52 pieces from 24 contributors. Thanks to their creativity, hard work, and dedication, these artists make each edition of The Bellwether Review possible.
