Contributions to Pacific Arts
Pacific Arts welcomes articles on the art of the Pacific region, especially papers on all topics pertinent to the visual and performing arts of the peoples of Polynesia, Micronesia, Melanesia, Australia, and Indonesia. The editors encourage suggestions for special issues devoted to particular topics or regions, as well as for books, exhibitions, videos, etc., for review. Articles should be no longer than 5,000 words, with no more than 10 illustrations. Reviews (exhibition, book, video, etc.) should be a maximum of 1500 words and may include 1-2 illustrations. Articles solicited and unsolicited, will be submitted for peer-review and authors advised in writing of the decision within a reasonable amount of time. Upon acceptance of an article or review, high-resolution digital files (minimum 300 dpi in a jpeg format) will be requested. Please do not send any original slides or prints that need to be returned. Please use The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003).
