We’re reaching out to all artists and creators! The April/May edition of focus is FOR you and ABOUT you! The Creatives Issue will feature the most extraordinary local talents. Want to share your special skills with us and our audience?
Since our very first edition, supporting artists and creators has been really important to us. Local talent deserves to be seen and heard! But, until now, we haven’t done anything quite as big as an entire creative feature or, as we prefer to call it, The Creatives Issue, where the most amazing painters, sculptors, designers and creators will be featured. And now we invite you to become a part of this special moment and this special edition.
Each edition of focus magazine reaches up to 20,000 people and is read up to 16,000 times online. Our readers are smart, passionate and involved and we’re always excited when we help them to discover something or someone new. In April/May, that someone might be you, dear local artist.
Want to see an article about you and your works on our pages and website? We have a spot for you!
