Circa Procedures: some Qs and As
Who decides what gets published online?
The editor. If you are interested in writing for Circa, please contact the editor, indicating what areas you would like to write about. You can also submit a text. Note that texts are expected to develop a critical argument; for example, in the case of a review, what is it about this particular show - rather than some other artist's work, perhaps dealing with similar themes - that makes it important to write about?
Does Circa pay for published work?
Not at the moment.
I want to have a show/event/book reviewed in Circa - what do I do?
Bring it to the attention of the editor.
I want to have my forthcoming show listed in Circa...
We do online listings - go here. Send information about your art event to us here.
The structure of Circa
Founded in 1981, Circa Art Magazine Limited is a not-for-profit company incorporated in Northern Ireland.
The magazine's longer-term goals and procedures are the responsibility of the Circa Board, whose membership changes regularly. Board membership is by invitation.
Day-to-day running of the magazine is the responsibility of the editor and the administrator, both based in the Dublin office.
Circa is financed through three main sources: the Arts Councils, north and south; sales; and advertising.

Circa is going through a period of transition at the moment.
A combination of severe funding cuts and a sharp fall in advertising revenue have forced us to suspend publication of Circa Art Magazine at least for 2010. Instead we are concentrating on our online presence, using our resources to get the best writers writing for us, and working to renew our website and its contents. We believe the results will be very worthwhile and exciting. We are currently re-examining all aspects of quality and content at Circa, to bring the best experience to our online readers. As one example of future content (apart from continuing to upload reviews and feature articles on a regular basis to our website), we plan a special online 'issue' this autumn based around the theme of art criticism - it seems very timely, given Circa's new circumstances, to stand back and get a series of writers to look at the basis of Circa's core activity. We look forward to having you with us on this new undertaking.
