The artist’s life is one that's unseen. Untold. Unheard.
The Art of Seeing provides a window into this world. A new perspective.
A unique insight. It is a magazine made by creatives, for creatives. Offering a platform for artists to share their story. So they can be truly seen. And offering a source of guidance and inspiration for creatives. So they can clearly see. In doing so, The Art of Seeing aims to connect the creative community. Because art creates togetherness. Provides solace. And offers an alternative path.
