About Black Coffee & Vinyl Presents

Black Coffee & Vinyl Presents (www.blackcoffeevinyl.com) is a multimedia art project that incorporates literature, visual art, and music around a theme. The first theme explored glaciers, ice, and the cultures connected to the world's ice. For the second of four installments of this project, they will explore the theme of "The City." 

What they want!

They are seeking art, words, and sounds that explore, critique, celebrate and interrogate the urban landscape, culture and environment. 

The city, a place, should play a central role in the work and should be a central character or focus. They are seeking a diverse range of city representation from large cities to small, from real to imagined.

They will be selecting an equal representation among literature, art, and sound for publication, which will be released online at www.blackcoffeevinyl.com. 

Prize: Contributors each receive $50 for publication, made payable by PayPal.
