Hedera Felix, Glasgow (2026)

18/04/2023

We have finally gotten round to it!

Join us on Saturday, 22 April 2023, in the Clubroom at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow (CCA) for short films, live Zoom and in-person readings, a satirical AI recording, visual projections and friendly faces, courtesy of our contributors and team.

Doors open 8.20pm. Event starts sharply at 8.30pm and ends between 11.30pm and midnight.

Submit your visual art!

Hedera Felix accepts visual art submissions for Mycelia Magazine. We want to fill Issue 5 with varied content that evokes the weird and eerie from all edges of the drinking hole.

Do you have photography of your paintings, drawings, sculpture or installations? Or documentation of you performances? Or photography alone that is part of a series or a standalone piece? Or something purely digital? Or even visual art in the form of text art? All types of visual art are taken into consideration.

So if your visual art fits the weird and eerie theme please send us what you have got. Our Google Form will take you through the submissions process so you don't miss anything out.

Apply to our Editorial Mentorship

We are running the editorial mentorship for its second term in Mycelia Issue 5. If you are interested please visit this link: https://hederafelix.com/submissions/

The editorial mentorship is an opportunity for new artists and writers to apply for extra support during the process of getting published in Mycelia magazine. Great for individuals who are new to writing or who are thinking about new ways of writing.

Developmental editing: this will mean working more closely with the Hedera Felix team. You will be given the opportunity to discuss your ideas and the direction of your writing, to either firm up a piece you have already written, or to work on something from scratch.

Knowledge sharing: this means that you get some of our expertise to take forward as you plan other ways to get published in the future. What to look out for, what to expect, and how to structure your uniqueness for traditional publishing and e-publishing.

We are providing one mentorship place for Issue 5 of Mycelia. Richard, our Art Editor, will be the mentor. We will accept who we feel will benefit the most from working with us.
