At HoverCraft this weekend, I got a chance to check out the first issue of Fine Line Magazine, a quarterly publication edited and produced by Jessica Steeber and Cassandra Smith (the ladies of the Armoury Gallery). The best part about it, besides the art of course, was the complete lack of advertisements and reviews! It's refreshing to page through a publication and just see art.
"Fine Line presents only images and text - ideas without definition, questions without answers. It is curated for the viewer's consideration and becomes a tangible guide to a thought, moment or expression. Somewhat like a deep breath, a pause in the daily go, Fine Line Magazine creates a space to stop and consider the moments that make up our lives." - Fine Line website
For the ladies of Fine Line, it is apparent that their ability to curate a physical gallery space translates beautifully to a two-dimensional gallery on paper. Among the list of artists featured in Issues #1, two of the artists grew up locally and the rest are from a variety of regions and countries. Check out their website for a full list of featured artists. Individual issue purchases as well as full subscriptions are available.
