TAOSI: Journal of Creative Arts & Aesthetic Studies is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access academic journal dedicated to the critical exploration of artistic expression, visual culture, and aesthetic philosophy. The journal provides a vibrant, interdisciplinary platform for artists, scholars, critics, and educators to share original research, theoretical essays, and practice-based studies that examine the profound impact of the arts on human experience and society.

Scope and Topics TAOSI encourages diverse perspectives and methodological approaches. The journal invites high-quality submissions encompassing a wide array of disciplines within the arts and aesthetics, including but not limited to:

  • Visual Arts and Design: Painting, sculpture, photography, graphic design, and contemporary digital/media arts.

  • Aesthetic Theory and Philosophy: Philosophy of art, aesthetic judgment, semiotics, and critical theory.

  • Performing Arts: Theater, dance, musicology, and performance studies.

  • Art History and Cultural Studies: Heritage preservation, indigenous arts, visual culture, and the sociology of art.

  • Art Education and Practice-Led Research: Pedagogical innovations in the arts, therapeutic arts, and the intersection of artistic practice and academic research.

Publication Frequency and Access TAOSI is published biannually (twice a year). Operating under a strict Open Access policy, all articles published in TAOSI are immediately and permanently free for everyone to read, download, copy, and distribute under a Creative Commons (CC) license. We believe that open access to artistic and aesthetic research fosters greater global cultural exchange.

Peer Review Process To uphold the highest academic and artistic standards, all submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process. Expert reviewers from relevant artistic and academic fields evaluate submissions based on their originality, theoretical depth, methodological soundness, and contribution to the broader discourse of arts and aesthetics.

Mission Statement: The mission of TAOSI is to cultivate a rich, global dialogue at the intersection of creative practice and intellectual inquiry. By championing both traditional art forms and avant-garde innovations, the journal aims to elevate aesthetic discourse, inspire new creative methodologies, and bridge the gap between academic theory and active artistic creation.
