We aspire to drive conversation and inspire compassionate action. We believe that art has the power to communicate ideas, concepts, and cultures in an understandable way, while opening and engaging in complex conversation with the heart. By employing empathetic dialogue, based on the ideals of humanism and nonviolence, art can also empower people to understand and inspire action. Contributors share their endeavors, projects, vision, philosophies, and culture through various art forms, while also supporting and connecting with other inspirational creatives, making the reader an integral part of the cultural conversation. We strive to represent a uniquely inclusive and accessible, diverse culture through the intersection of written and visual art and encourage creatives to step into confidence with their unique and authentic style. In this issue the theme Beauty Comes in All Shapes and Sizes is highlighted throughout.
