Critical Bastards Magazine is seeking submissions for Issue 10. This issue will depart from previous printed format to be purely audio in form.
We are seeking audio reviews, interviews, and articles about art. What we are looking for is a creative response to this call; we are not looking for reviews which are simply written and then recorded.
What we are looking for are clearly recorded, concise, coherent reviews and responses to work, that emphasise and explore how the spoken word influences the structure of the article. Although the format will be in audio form, we are looking for reviews and articles about all kinds of work, not sound work in particular.
We welcome audio articles of no longer than 15 minutes duration, submitted with an image that relates to the content.
Send submissions to criticalbastards@gmail.com. Recordings will be selected on the fitness of their inclusion in the issue.
Our curated slideshows generally consist of 20-25 artists, with each artist featuring up to five minutes of original work. In most cases, this is a slideshow of between 15 and 40 images. Every slideshow is set to music or an audio recording that the artist has selected. We generally accept all types of submissions, as long as the work can be represented fairly in a slideshow format. Pre-produced multimedia submissions are also welcome, as long as they fit within our guidelines and format.
For more information, and details on how to submit, please visit: www.slideluck.com/submissions
Deadline: 14th June at 6pm

The Clare Arts Office, supported by Ennis Town Council, has announced that an open-air art exhibition will take place in the Temple Gate Car Park in Ennis between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, 25th May.
The exhibition is being held in conjunction with the Fleadh Nua and follows the success of last year’s event, “Art for All”, the brainchild of local art student Ann Cronin. ‘Art for All’ was piloted in 2012 when Ann, along with a group of artists from the Ennis-based Vincent Killowry Art Group, added a splash of colour during the Fleadh Nua Weekend with their open air exhibition in the Friar’s Walk Car Park.
As someone who regularly attends the Fleadh, Ann proposed the provision of visual art to accompany the music during the Fleadh to the Clare County Arts Office and Ennis Town Council.
“The initiative, which is based on a similar and very successful scheme hosted in St. Stephen’s Green in Dublin. Over 20 of Vincent Killowry’s Art Group participated last year and it is hoped that by opening participation to any interested this year, the Temple Gate Car Park will provide a kaleidoscope of colour over the weekend,” commented County Arts Officer Siobhán Mulcahy.
Ms. Mulcahy added: “It is wonderful to see local artists adding to the cultural atmosphere of the town during the Fleadh Nua. Organising the exhibition in a more central this year should boost audience numbers.”
Registration is now open for the event, with a limited number of pitches available. To register, contact the Arts Office, Clare County Council on (065) 6899091 or arts@clarelibrary.ie.
Deadline: 24th May at 5pm
