For those who read or want to write for the magazine
Click on an artist's name to see contact information
and a biography (if one is available). Click on a category icon (such as the pottery illustration)
to view the work of all the artists in that category. Duplicate names reflect multiple winning entries
by the same artist.
Many events listed on our calendar have been postponed or cancelled as a precaution to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus, now a pandemic. If you must (or choose) to attend an event, we suggest you call and verify that it will be taking place as planned.

Email us at subscribe@firelandsmedia.com if you suspect you have had a delivery problem—because our offices remained closed for the protection of our staff, we cannot answer telephone queries at this time.
