Create! Magazine is passionate about providing visibility and publishing opportunities to the art community through their platform and magazines. They are passionately committed to creating these avenues for artists to thrive. All selected artists will receive a two-page spread, an online blog feature, and a social media post.
Create! Magazine's Issue #47 isn't just a publication; it's a platform for your creativity to be seen and celebrated. Selected works will be included in the print issue available by the end of 2024 and distributed in indie bookstores and through gallery partners like Delaware Contemporary, Paradigm Art Gallery, and Square One Gallery. Artists can review and edit their spread before printing, and all featured artists will receive a free digital edition of the magazine.
About the Guest Curators: The TAX Collection
Founded in 2015 by Tanner Steslow and Max Berman, The TAX Collection is a multi-modal curatorial platform aimed at providing agency to emerging and mid-career contemporary artists worldwide through public exhibitions, installations, and commercial projects. At their core, Steslow and Berman operate from the position that "without the artist, there would be no 'art'", advocating that in this digital age, now more than ever, artists can acquire the tools to control their own narrative, better negotiate their relationships with galleries, and develop independent, lasting relationships with their collectors and institutions. With almost a decade of experience curating and advising close to 100 exhibition programs and numerous public works projects, The TAX Collection continues to act as a champion for the 'artist' in all aspects of their practice.
For their latest venture, they've partnered with artist and entrepreneur Ted Collier to open Square One Gallery. Located in the historic Central West End of St. Louis, Missouri, Square One Gallery, established in 2024, strives to showcase contemporary artistic voices while connecting St. Louis to the greater international arts community with a diverse, global roster of exceptional artists.
