What are Runway Journal’s current programs?
Runway produces two themed, digital issues annually. Each is shaped by an invited guest editor and features newly-commissioned artistic, written and multidisciplinary works that champion critical, bold and experimental practice.
Alongside our issues, Runway commissions responsive arts criticism for our digital Conversations platform. Featured works include responsive exhibition reviews, artist profiles, essays, interviews and more. Across 2021– 2022, we have partnered with All Conference. Runway will publish new commissions from the All Conference network of artist-led, experimental and cross-disciplinary arts organisations around Australia. For 2022 – 2023, we have partnered with Parallel to produce Parallel Conversations. This program supports non-Anglo/CALD/BIPOC writers to advance critical, bold and experimental thinking on ways of enacting structural change in Australian art institutions, with a focus on regional art museums.
From time to time we also present on-site and digital events, residencies and public programs.
Is Runway Journal open to submissions?
We invite submissions for the two digital issues we publish annually, which centre on a theme chosen by an invited Guest Editor with the Runway board. Our call-outs usually open in February/March and August/September each year.
We are not currently accepting submissions for our Conversations platform.
How can I join the Runway Journal Board?
We have an open call-out for board member positions at the end of each year, around October/November. Each board member serves a voluntary two-year term. We operate on a ‘1 seat–1 vote’ structure, where all work is shared equally in return for an open and honest voice in directing the organisation’s goals and activities.
