The theme of the content of this issue is “endurance” – most of the features will, in some way, glance at the resilience and enduring power of art and artists. 

Quote from Editor's Letter:

“That’s why the theme of this issue is ‘endurance.’ Making art is difficult and painful, yet people insist on doing it anyway. Maybe it’s because it’s fascinating, rewarding and fulfilling, because it fosters community and spreads positive or necessary information. Maybe it’s because even though it’s hard—see Michelangelo with a crick in his neck, dripping paint on his own face for four years straight—we understand that the unique beauty to be found at the end, the pearl we dove down for, is more than worth it.” - Liv Siddall, Senior Editor
