Ephemeral Aperture
Ephemeral Aperture Poetry & Verse, Micro & Multi-Media, as well as Craft & Trade Artisans share their passion in smaller and alternative format media.
"In the Deep" Poetry Collection Open Call - Due August 30th
Our next community-made project is a Poetry Collection that shares the harder and hidden truths of our selves. A book where growth through pain is acknowledged and even validated.
We keep this call open for the majority of Summer, and venture forth to help break barriers constucted within and bridge understanding to alleviate those stigmas of mental health.
Use the art of the written word as a container for the strife that would drown you otherwise, and be among others who recognize parts of the same puzzle that you’ve come to discover.
Observe your truth as part of the Ephemeral Aperture imprint, our scope that captures the whole journey in its lens, and projects the emotion within.

Art and Pain are Symbiotic
Each artist is able to submit three (3) poems, but only one will be accepted into the book. Please review the guidelines below to see if the project is right for you!
There will be no fee associated with submitting poems.
Growth Comes After Winter
“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.”
Spark Something Ephemeral
The Ephemeral Aperture branch of the CPF Studio focuses on the alternative form content and multimedia productions, including the emotions that are captured in art through stories both spoken and untold.
As an organization built around the idea of “Producing Awe” we understand that there are many forms of creating and sharing that light. We endeavor to build foundations of support to aid those smaller stories and voices in our community.
As such, this aspect of our CPF Studio frames smaller ideas as the greater moments that they are, for each of these individual truths come together to create a holistic view of the real truth we all share - also known as our Hearth Mentality!
The Monomyth as a Lens
This imprint’s sigil is built to model the path of the Heroes’ Journey, also known as “the Monomyth”; because capturing the emotion of a whole journey can be hard in one picture - the lens is the whole journey with this.

“I think that art has the ability to capture people’s imaginations and make them think that more is possible.”
Capturing a Moment
How does one define art?
That seems an impossible question to answer… almost like the meaning of life, or what is love (baby don’t hurt me).
We define art as that act of creation that binds passion and promise - that calling from an ephemeral place that connects us in those moments of emotion - a muse as the universe.
Art shapes reality for us as a part of that suffering artists feel.
To do art and be an artist is to view this shared reality in a different way, and to share that perspective as AWE, Agency, Wonder, and Expression.
