“Indeed, art is meant to move us; it is a persistent wave that washes over the mind time and again. In response, we can stay rooted firmly in our beliefs and allow the current to wash by us, we can willingly swim with the waters, or we can create our own current. Yet regardless of how we respond, we change and are shaped by the currents that surround us. As such, the real beauty and power of art is its ability to challenge or transform us while still being magnificent and wonderfully crafted…”

Editor’s Note (excerpt)                                                                                                                        …It is not popular to make claims about the function of art, but if art serves any function it is to collapse the difference between waiting and living. To make waiting a form of experience, as valuable as any other. This is true for more than just innumerable novels that are devoured in hospital waiting rooms the world over. It is only in the midst of a good book or film, viewing a stellar painting or play, that we start to live while waiting. It is fashionable to think of art as something more than merely waiting, merely murdering the time in between more active pursuits, but of course the consumption of art is not a form of labour…

Truth

Editor-in-Chief: Emily Stewart

Associate Editor: Joseph Hutt

Editorial Assistant: Freyja Wilson

Director of Submissions: Kunal Chaudhary

Events Coordinator: Mia Morgan

Distributions Coordinator: Sebastion

Cover Artwork by: Dominic Laporte 

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “… All art – regardless of veracity – has the power to provide us with experience beyond our day to day lives. This is what Picasso meant when he said “art is a lie that makes us see the truth.” This  is why, even with five years of university education and a lifetime of experiences under my belt, I still turn to art to expose me to new truths on a regular basis…”

Expectations 

Editor-in-Chief: Emily Stewart

Editorial Assistant: Joseph Hutt

Director of Submissions: Kunal Chaudhary

Production Coordinator: Abria Mattina

Cover Artwork by: Mark Stephenson

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “So much of our experience is affected by our initial thoughts — those that come to us when we see a cover, or read a title, or begin the first few lines. Our first impressions, whether they are informed by a cover or by a friend’s glowing review, influence what we choose to read and how much we enjoy what we’ve chosen.”

the point of no return

Editorial Assistants: Joseph Hutt

Productions Coordinator: Abria Mattina

Director of Submissions: Kunal Chaudhary

Cover design: Hugo Kerr

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “We experience moments of potential, the lapsing of balance, and in the end we can only hold onto these things through the effort of remembering. The space between these states is thinner than a breath.”

Throwback

Editor-in-chief: Mia Morgan

Editorial Assistants: Brianna Campignotto

Productions Coordinator: Abria Mattina

Director of Submissions: Emily Stewart

Distributions Coordinator: M.M. Buckingham

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “We are all made and unmade by our creative predecessors, whether we would have it or not, taking the past and reshaping it to express our own thoughts. Every act of creation, then, is a throwback…”

Productions Coordinator: Jesse Wolfe

Events Coordinator: Jenna Dufour

Director of Submissions: Kathy Andrews

Productions Coordinator: Jesse Wolfe

Distributions Coordinator: Lidija Rozitis

Cover design: Jim Fuess

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “How ‘true’ to reality should a representation have to stay, or not stay? Can art be an escape or must it teach you something about yourself, the world, other ways to be? Does it necessarily have a moral function, or should art exist for art’s sake alone?”

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “…From here, the young escape artist plots many schemes, ploys, and death defying acts of creation in order to slip like so many pennies through the holey pockets of society.”

Editorial Assistants: Jared Davidson

Productions Coordinator: Jesse Wolfe

Events Coordinator: Ashly Dyck

Director of Submissions and Distribution: Kenneth Dodd

Cover design: Jesse Wolfe

Editor’s Note (Excerpt)   “…Art’s ability to show us what we don’t want to see, feelings and realities we thought we forgot, or tried to, perhaps, makes it worth creating, worth studying, worth imitating and honouring…”
