History and profile

Artifice was started in 2009.[1] It was co-founded by Rebekah Silverman, who served as Managing Editor, and James Tadd Adcox, who served as editor-in-chief.[2] It was published biannually.[3] Later Peter Jurmu became the editor-in-chief of the magazine replacing James Tadd Adcox in the post.[4]

In 2011 Artifice was awarded a City of Chicago Community Arts Assistance Program (CAAP) Grant. In 2010, the magazine was awarded the Best Submission Guidelines by Philistine Press[5] for the Artifice wishlist,"[6] which requests such submissions as "3 of the saddest sentences ever written," "1 geometrical proof," "2 fits, 2 starts," "4 labyrinths created using parentheses, footnotes, endnotes, etc," and "something that includes a Greek chorus."

Artifice was a division of Artifice Books, a small press. Artifice Books' first project, released in 2012, was "EXITS ARE,"[7] an e-book by Mike Meginnis (and many players), published in conjunction with Uncanny Valley.[8] Later the magazine began to be published annually by Curbside Splendor Publishing.[4] Artifice folded in 2017.[9]
