Print Matters Art & Craft and Heritage submissions Please remember, Print Matters (art & craft) only considers publication of books on South African Art and Craft with a specific focus on those artists and craftspeople who have been overlooked or marginalised by fashion, politics or commercialism. Our selection process favours a non-academic approach with an emphasis on multi-narrative texts - for example, the story of an artist's creative development seen against personal, social and political history.
