OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Based in California, "wind-up mice" is an art and literary journal that aims to capture whimsy in everyday life. the beauty within the mundane. We want the soft and sweet, the darkness, the light. For the next month, July 23-August 23, we are accepting submissions of poetry, art and prose for our very first issue. Virtual Event Bennington College

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Wind-up Mice brings the carnival to you! Inspired by the clientele's "carnival on 7th street," carnival relishes not only the fun and games found at carnivals but the undercurrents, the shadows that come to play when day turns into night. "If a shadow falls across the moon/anybody could be you." We seek strangeness—close-ups of clowns on stilts, stray circus ponies, popped balloon darts. warped vision and salty musk from the sultry heat. Decadence and fleetingness. We want your cotton candy and stuffed animal prize-filled childhood nostalgia, your fears, and wonder on rollercoasters. orange skies, and carousels. You are welcome to include your festive transparent illustrations alongside your pieces if interested. We are excited to dig into your work. meet you on the ferris wheel at sundown!
