The Oxford American's 2024 Spring Issue will center on the theme of Southern Art. 

Inspired by the artisans, folk artists, and world-famous creators from our region, this edition explores painting, photography, textiles, and ceramics—multiple pathways of visual expression—and their practitioners. The issue also delves into altars, flowers, rugs: functional art of the everyday that would not typically be found on the walls of a museum. The editors imagine this issue as an art object in and of itself, a tangible archive to display and return to again and again.
