Mon, 16 Feb 2026

A Commission for two artists of any art style to create a single or double page for our Bus Stop Goths Legacy Zine, using their interpretations of the brief, about goths and alternative youth hang out spaces.

Brief:
As part of the Bus Stop Goths project, we are creating a zine, celebrating the local spots and third spaces in our home areas that goths and alternative youth have claimed as theirs. We have known these spots to have always been here, but does it span the ancients? Bus Stop Goths reimagines these spaces and the communities who reside there as mythic and folkloric.

We are interested in artists who would like to celebrate the heritage of these spaces with a fantasy/otherworldly twist.

Responses to the brief may include:

• A comic-style
• Visual art of any medium (inc. traditional, digital, print makers etc)
• Poetry
• A creative essay
• A short story

Fee total: x2 £ 200 commissions, to create a page/2 pages of content for a publication by May.

Deadline for application: 13th March 2026.

Please send through an artist bio, a link to your socials or website, and up to 4 examples of your work to  with the subject line "Bus Stop Goths Artist Commission" by the 13th March, to shortlist by Fri 20th March.
