I started working on this Art magazine last summer, and we are finally going to print in one month. I took my time to make sure we got everything right, down to picking the perfect paper stock- spending countless hours touching paper samples from 7 different printers in 3 different countries, (we are keeping it local and printing in California). With some of our artists, I returned to their studio multiple times, to make sure we were setting the standard for our storytelling- the lived experiences of creatives and how it shapes our work.
We are working with filmmakers, painters, photographers, authors, muralists, galleries, etc. to make something really special. A resource and an inspiration- which I feel is so needed right now. With everything going on in the world, this is OUR space.
This is a grassroots operation, it is completely independent and I would love your support- pre orders are open now. Supporting the arts is important now more than ever. You can subscribe at ART BAR SHOP. Or find it on socials (at) artbarmag.
Issue one is on the streets in July and will be stocked in bookstores nationwide (+ international) including Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.
This is very much a passion project with a focus on the importance of art and creativity for mental health.
