The Marble Collection

The Marble Collection, Inc. [TMC], a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit organization, believes that engaging teens in the arts fosters their creative, academic and social development. TMC provides students with a vibrant outlet to express themselves through images, words and multimedia.

TMC’s service population includes all Massachusetts secondary students, grades 8-12; this is a population of over 360,000 students. By collaborating with a network of nearly 200 Massachusetts schools and nonprofits partners, TMC serves nearly 100 teens and 30 college-level Service-learners each year. To enhance our impact in 2013, TMC diversified its teen clients by partnering with 12 Massachusetts nonprofits that share in our mission and serve disadvantaged student populations.

Students in grades 8-12 are encouraged to submit literature, art and/or music to The Marble Collection for a chance to be published in their online magazine.

 

Submission Selection Process

All published works are juror-selected to ensure artistic excellence. TMC maintains 4 editorial boards, one for each submission genre (ie. Literature, Art, Music, and Video). Editorial board members, or jurors, are college interns that specialize in the particular genre they review.

Since TMC focuses solely on Massachusetts students, our editorial boards have the time to provide educational feedback to all accepted authors and artists, familiarizing students with the editorial process within the realm of professional publishing. With TMC all Massachusetts students, grades 8-12, have a professional outlet to display their work, coupled with editorial guidance to hone their talents.

By submitting to The Marble Collection: High School Magazine of the Arts, the student agrees to participate in the mandatory Student Mentoring Workshop if his/her work is chosen for publication.
