Most of the art in Ambit is found by our Art Editor on visits to art schools, private views and exhibitions. The illustrations that accompany the poems and stories are commissioned from an established team of artists.

Very little of our artwork comes in on spec. This is party because we have no funding to pay the artists who appear in Ambit (our funding comes from the Arts Council’s literature section).

If, however, you have explored the art in the magazine and feel that your work would print well (black and white only) alongside what you have seen, you are welcome to send in a sample.
