As the pace of change accelerates and creative industries evolve in real time, there’s no better moment to pause, refocus, and set a clear intention for what comes next.
Embracing the season of renewal, we begin the first of a four-part series in Business of Art: "Four Parts. One Vision. This Year." How Creativity Survives, Scales, and Stays Relevant, because staying relevant demands strategy as much as it does inspiration.
Join us on a journey into the Arizona desert to visit collectors Jon and Rae Shanahan, alongside their longtime designer and creative collaborator, Ingrid Moore. Together, they reveal a deeply collaborative approach to collecting—one that gives form to their shared vision and finds expression in the singular landscape of their home. Our cover star, BUCKAROO, stands as a compelling testament to the power of a simple silhouette. Rendered onto layered media, an image capable of summoning collective memory, where material, history, and emotion accrue meaning over time.
Expanding on this depth, LAYERS OF COLLECTION: A Philosophy of Making explores the art of accumulation, creation, and narrative, unveiling innovative new works by Carrie Fell. These works debuted at our Annual Meet at the River, Unexplored Edges—an unforgettable day night and in these pages, we offer a pictorial celebration of food, fellowship, and fine art—moments shared, stories ignited, and beauty experienced together.
Welcome to Spring... Release, Renew, Reimagine...and always, let's begin with the ART.
