Open Ceilings is a completely undergraduate-run literary magazine specifically dedicated to creative writing and the arts. With the support of the English Department and members of the Davis community, Open Ceilings aims to capture and preserve in print the creative work of students, staff, faculty, and community members in Davis, and now the larger UC system. As a semiannual publication releasing summer and winter issues each year, Open Ceilings accepts short fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The magazine also features photography and artwork submissions.
Like you, Open Ceilings is adapting to the changes posed by the global response to COVID-19, and despite the unique challenges our team is facing, we are proud to support the creative community through the uncertainty. We strongly believe artwork and creative expression is healing and can serve as a healthy escape from the various challenges and stresses we all face. That is why we are committed to moving forward with our production of upcoming issues. We are currently collecting submissions for our Summer 2021 issue and would love to see any work you have to submit!
