Full Bleed is a journal of art and design published annually by the Maryland Institute College of Art. We publish work that inspires, critiques, and informs the work of contemporary artists and designers. In opposition to the many forces that demean and divide humanity, we stand for the civilizing influences of aesthetic experience and progressive design.  

Because our world is syncretic, characterized by intercultural exchange, flux, and strife, the pages of our journal will be eclectic. They will be welcoming of many points of view and formal approaches, open to controversy, and responsive to shifting cultural conditions.  In each issue, we hope to chronicle the diverse ways that artists, writers, and designers are participating in this tumultuous historical moment.
