By making the world a more beautiful place, Artemis supports the visions of our artists in a time when we need to write and make art to heal our souls and enrich our communities. Artemis Journal represents the Appalachian region of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and is one of the few journals in America that blends art, poetry, and prose throughout its pages. Likewise, it remains a journal that publishes fledgling writers and artists alongside prominent writers such as Nikki Giovanni, Virginia Poet Laureate, Ron Smith, Carolyn Kreiter-Foronda, U. S. Poet Laureate, Natasha Trethewey, as well as prominent artists such as Betty Branch, Steven Kenny, and Linda Atkinson. Artemis is a charitable non-profit organization, now 45 years old, and has evolved into an all-inclusive journal with essays, poetry, and art.
