The Commission for Art & Cartography of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) seeks submissions for a special issue of the International Journal of Cartography to be published in the Spring of 2024.(1) We seek a diversity of contributions that explore how dialogues and practices in art and cartography can create generative points of contact.

- Art practices that use concepts, grammars, or ideas found in cartography
- Cartographic practices that are informed by dialogues or practices in contemporary art
- Geographical visualization methods informed by humanistic modes of inquiry
- Theoretical interventions that open new possibilities for art and cartography
- Creative approaches to cartographic visualization
- Mapping projects that draw from participatory art
