Minnesota-based artists who work with collage as part of their practice are encouraged to submit!

Any Minnesotan resident working in the medium of collage is encouraged to submit their work. If you have had work published in NORTH STAR COLLAGE before, you are welcomed to submit work again.

Our definition of collage is expansive and inclusive. Handcut/analog, digital and mixed media collages are all welcomed. If collage is part of your practice, we'd love to hear about it and see your work.

Open theme, no fee to submit -- we want to see your best work!

Pictured above are the first two volumes of NORTH STAR COLLAGE. We're all sold out of the first issue, but you can find #2 and our other publications here in our online shop.

This project is intended for new and emerging collage artists based in the U.S., and those who identify as BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA2S+ are prioritized for this project and are encouraged to apply. 

We have distributed more than 100 packets via mail to collage artists in the U.S. through this program since 2021.

A U.S.-based shipping address is required to receive the scholarship. We are not able to fill requests from international applicants due to costs and restrictions associated with international shipping.

Applicants may receive one packet in a 12-month period. If your request could not be filled, please apply during the next application period. This is to maximize the number of recipients and spread the resources we have available as far as possible.

We are committed to amplifying the voices of BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ artists, and will do our best to connect as many new and emerging collage artists with materials as possible.

If you would like to support this project with a monetary donation, you can do so here. We are trying to raise an additional $300 to cover postage & supplies for an additional 42 mailings this summer. To stretch our postage budget further, we are asking recipients in the Twin Cities area to consider picking up their packet rather than having it mailed.

We have already received our highest number of applications to date, and have begun the first wave of acceptances, with 25 applications approved this week. We're excited to share that mailing has begun today :-)
