For four decades, Artemis Journal, published annually, has showcased compelling new voices with notable authors ranging from poet laureates to Pulitzer Prize and other major award winners and nominees. Artemis has served the Appalachian Region of the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond for 45 years, with 28 publications as a Literary and Art Journal. The rich history of creativity of Artemis has played an integral role in their success and perseverance of Artemis.

The Artemis Journal's mission has not changed from its conception. Borne out of the writing workshops held for the victims of domestic violence in Southwest Virginia, Artemis Journal has been an advocate for social justice since 1977. Artemis has been a bright star that began in a basement at the Roanoke, Virginia YWCA. Artemis supports fair trade policies, artists, and women-based businesses. 10% of earnings are donated to a women's shelter for survivors of intimate partner violence in Southwest Virginia.
