Publishers Note
It was approximately midnight on April ,
. Sleep
was elusive, so I sat up. My art had recently come down
from two group exhibitions, and was almost at the end
of a third. In the past month I had been featured on two
online art magazines, neither in Orlando. I wish I could
say Artborne was conceived in a selfless act of community.
It wasn’t. They say necessity is the mother of invention,
and I desperately needed recognition. Moments later, I
secured the Instagram handle @artbornemagazine. What
began as a spontaneous and selfish act, has catapulted into
something I could never have imagined as I half lay in bed
furiously creating a platform for my personal interests.
In the past months, it has been my privilege to work along
side an amazing group of individuals who are thoughtlessly dedicating to advancing the arts in Orlando. Rene
Ricard once wrote on art “This is an honest way to rise
out of the slum, using one’s sheer self as the medium,
the money earned rather a proof pure and simple of the
value of that individual, The Artist.” Artborne Magazine is
here for the development and advancement of Orlando’s
art scene through essays, Q&A’s, reviews, spotlights and
overall coverage of our artists.
As our inaugural issue, we hope to provide a broad representation of the artists and their communities. It’s a well
known fact that Orlando is vast and diverse, we couldn’t
hope to encompass or define this region in one issue, but
I hope you’ll accompany us on our journey as a platform
for the arts.
