Get Involved with
On Being Ill: Digital Exhibition

We are delighted to invite artists across a range of disciplines to contribute with personal reflections on the subtle complexities around art, literature, illness, disability and care.

​

Virginia Woolf's essay 'On Being Ill' was first published in 1926. This year - exactly a hundred years later - The New Menard Press is excited to present a new anthology complementing our first edition, published in the early period of the Covid pandemic in 2020. 

​

Working with a more expansive view of what could be included in this new edition, all are invited to submit. If you have a piece of work that speaks to our mission, please get in touch below.
