Welcome to AmbushArts.com, a quarterly barrage of high-caliber art. In each issue, you’ll discover potent new work from some of the most exciting voices in art today. With in-depth interviews and regularly updated bios accompanying every piece, you’ll also have the opportunity to gain fresh perspectives on the creative process and an inside look at the personalities redefining art as we know it. Expect the following ordnance: poetry, short stories, essays, photography, short film, visual art, and music.

If you’d like to be a part of our inaugural issue (Fall 2008), please visit the submissions page, read the guidelines, and submit via our online submission system. But please know that we are just as devoted to art as we are to the people who create it. Even if art has been reduced to a commodity, it still matters where it comes from. There will be no editorially paraphrased three-line bios here; be prepared to provide a mugshot.

But, wait! Before you submit, read on.

AmbushArts.com is much more than a quarterly online magazine. We’re committed to increasing the audience for art in America and raising the standards to which it is held. That’s why we’re building an online community of artists, students, and art appreciators who want to improve their craft and learn more about the labor of expression. There will be online workshops, forums, competitions, Q&A sessions with guest artists, exercises to hone technique, networking opportunities, and much more. After creating a profile, members gain unrestricted access to the community portion of the website and can start participating immediately. Best of all, it's free.

So take a moment to create your profile and start getting involved.
