Q: What is Tapestry?
A: Tapestry is Conant's yearly fine arts magazine, a showcase of Conant's many
talented students' work. It publishes short stories, short plays, narratives, essays, poetry, photography, paintings, prints, and drawings.
Q: How do I get work published in Tapestry?
A: To Submit your creative work: Entry forms are
available starting in mid-November in the English office behind Mr. Gwizdala's desk. The deadline for submitting work is mid-January. Check Mr. Gwizdala's website for more specific dates. Attach your work to
the entry form. You may wish to protect artwork in an envelope or portfolio of some sort. You do not need to be on the staff to enter your work.
Q: How are the entries judged?
A: Entries are evaluated anonymously. All artists' names are
removed from their work. They are evaluated on originality, depth, meaning, creativity, and content. How do I join the staff? See Mr. Gwizdala, his website, or weekly / daily announcements.
Q: What does the staff do?
A: 1. We advertise to get entries.
2. We evaluate and select work to be published.
3. We do the magazine layout, including creating interesting
backgrounds using Photoshop. This is the fun, creative part!!
Q: When does Tapestry get published?
A: The magazine is completed in late April to early May and is
distributed in Office 101. We encourage everyone that wants to contribute to see editorial policy on the content printed in the magazine. Tapestry staff has made this policy to act in a way of a simple guideline when selecting
works to be included in the magazine. We, as the publishers and creators of Tapestry, see our job as taking the most creative and outstanding work submitted by the students of Conant and presenting that to our whole community.
Even though Tapestry comes out only once a year, it is still a major part of the Conant experience.
