TABLEWARE magazine is an annually published arts and literature magazine focused on a mission of distinction through curation. A museum cannot function without a supply of exceptional art and at the same time that art cannot be displayed exceptionally without the collaboration of a curator. With TABLEWARE the hope is to do justice to 10 pieces of exceptional art and literature, collected through a deftly scrutinous editorial process. To encourage even the most persnickety to submit, TABLEWARE offers a standard flat rate of $50 for accepted work, along with charging no submission fee. The hope is to build a global name in arts and literature solely through the agonizing curation of outstanding work with a heavy editorial hand. All proceeds from the first issue will directly go towards future printings as well as for paying future contributors.
