about us

A monthly digital magazine. We aspire to be a free-to-read, share, download, and even print (use your home printer and recycle: a paper printed on the front can still be used!) magazine for all those seeking a moment with arts.

Welcome to stories over art, a sanctuary for all who find solace, inspiration, and purpose in the world of art. On this platform, we applaud the creativity and dedication of artists across all mediums, serving as a platform, motivator, and steadfast supporter of their invaluable contributions to our lives.

​

In a world that often overlooks the significance of art, we stand firm in our belief that it is essential, more so than anything else. The events of the recent pandemic have underscored this truth, as many of us turned to movies, music, literature, and various other forms of art to find refuge, solace, and a connection to our inner selves.

 

Yet, amidst the beauty and transcendence of art lies a stark reality: being an artist, artiste, or creator is a solitary and arduous journey. Despite misconceptions of glamour, the truth reveals itself in the form of minimal support, pervasive anxiety, and an unrelenting demand for exposure without compensation. However, in the face of these challenges, artists persevere. They pour their hearts and souls into their craft, driven by an unwavering passion to make sense of the world around them. It is this resilience, this refusal to be silenced, that inspires us all.

​

Here, we offer more than just words on a page. We offer a sanctuary— a space where artists are celebrated, their struggles acknowledged, and their voices amplified. It is our humble attempt to provide a beacon of support for the creative souls who illuminate our world with their brilliance.

 

Join us in honoring the creative souls who dare to dream, create, and challenge the status quo. Together, let us champion the arts, for they are not just a luxury, but a necessity—a lifeline that helps us navigate the complexities of existence and find meaning in the chaos.
