February 2025
Concepts of architectural space and studio practice as publishing and publication are explored in this February 2025 issue of fount. This is the first of three issues of fount associated with the research project titled, ‘Contemporary Art-Publishing Ecosystems of Remote and Rural Scotland‘ enabled by a Carnegie Research Incentive Grant 2024-2025.
This issue of fount is available to download below as a digital file in a double page spread format. Keep scrolling for a second file format also available to download which could be used for printing at home if you have the skills and the equipment (a home colour printer, a stapler and a guillotine/paper trimmer)!
In case you don’t have the means to print at home but want to get your hands on a print copy, this issue will be made available at the Making Publics Press in ATLAS Arts, Portree, Isle of Skye and Birnam Arts, Perthshire.
Check back for news on upcoming issues planned for publication in September and November 2025! Or follow @louisapreston_scribo on Instagram for updates.
Interested in submitting to fount?
fount aims to showcase the creative sources and processes that form art and culture in remote and rural areas of Scotland. If you want to be included in future issues of fount, and you are based outside of the major urban centres of Scotland (i.e., you live in a place with less than 3000 people living in it, and/or, in a place which is more than 30 minutes drive away from the nearest place with more than 10 000 people living there), please get in touch!
Submissions of poetry, flash fiction, zines, one-page comics and samples of new fiction (up to 2500 words and/or 4-8 images) are all welcome. If you would like to submit or would like your practice to be featured through a discussion in a studio visit, please email louisa.preston@stir.ac.uk for more info with ‘fount’ in the subject line. Please also see the submissions guidelines page for more information on submissions.
