Welcome to Our Arts Magazine – Celebrating Creativity and the People Behind It
Every work of art has a story, and behind every story is a person worth discovering.
Our Arts Magazine is an independent online publication dedicated to celebrating creativity in all its forms and, perhaps more importantly, the remarkable people who bring that creativity into the world.
Art is more than something we hang on a wall, read in a book, listen to or admire through a camera lens. It is a reflection of human experience, imagination, curiosity and individuality. It can challenge our thinking, stir memories, inspire conversations or simply bring a little beauty into an ordinary day.
Through thoughtfully written editorial features, artist profiles and personal stories developed from interviews, we introduce readers to the people whose imagination and dedication enrich our world.
At Our Arts Magazine, we believe the people responsible for these creations deserve just as much attention as the work itself.

Discover the People Behind the Creativity
Our magazine introduces readers to artists, photographers, writers, musicians and creative individuals working across a wide variety of disciplines.
Through personal stories, artist spotlights and editorial features, we explore the lives, ideas and experiences of people who have something interesting to share.
We are interested in much more than professional achievements or impressive portfolios. We want to know what first encouraged someone to pick up a paintbrush, look through a camera, write their first story or discover a passion for making something with their own hands.
What inspires them? How have their interests and techniques developed? What difficulties have they faced? Have they changed direction along the way, discovered unexpected talents or returned to a creative passion after years spent doing something entirely different?
Sometimes the most fascinating part of a creative journey has very little to do with the finished work.
These are the stories we want to tell.
Your Story, Told Through Our Magazine
More Than an Interview
At Our Arts Magazine, we take a slightly different approach to traditional interviews.
Rather than simply publishing a series of questions and answers, we use the information provided by our featured creatives to produce a complete editorial article about the person behind the work.
Our interview questionnaires invite artists, photographers, writers, musicians and other creative individuals to share their backgrounds, inspirations, achievements, experiences and ambitions.
From these responses, we create an engaging, personalised feature that introduces the individual to our readers and explores the story of their creative journey.
The result is an article that reads as a genuine editorial profile rather than a conventional interview transcript. It gives readers an opportunity to understand the person, discover their work and appreciate the experiences that have influenced their creativity.
We want our features to feel natural and engaging, allowing the personality of each individual to emerge through the telling of their story.
You provide the experiences, memories and creative journey. We bring them together into an article that tells your story.
Creativity Belongs to Everyone
We believe creativity should never be restricted by age, experience, qualifications or professional recognition.
Some people have spent decades developing their craft, exhibiting internationally or building successful creative careers. Others are only just beginning to explore what they can do.
Some have studied their chosen discipline formally, while others are entirely self taught. There are those who create for a living and those who find enormous personal satisfaction in creating simply because they love doing it.
Every one of these experiences has value.
Our Arts Magazine welcomes the diversity of the creative world. We are interested in established professionals, enthusiastic newcomers, independent creators and those whose work may not yet have reached a wider audience.
We do not believe that an interesting creative story requires an impressive list of awards or exhibitions. Sometimes it begins with an ordinary person, an unexpected idea and the determination to see where it leads.
A Feature You Can Be Proud to Share
Being featured in Our Arts Magazine is more than an opportunity to introduce yourself to our readers. A published editorial profile can become a valuable addition to your creative portfolio and promotional materials.
Unlike a simple question and answer interview, your feature is written as a complete article, presenting your background, creative journey and work in an engaging, professional format.
How Can You Use Your Published Feature?
- Your website: Link to your magazine feature from your personal website, portfolio or professional biography.
- Press releases: Reference your published profile when preparing press releases, announcements or promotional material.
- About the Artist pages: Use your article as a resource when writing or updating your own artist biography.
- Social media: Share your published feature with followers, customers, collectors and fellow creatives.
- Exhibitions and events: Include a link to your article when introducing yourself to galleries, exhibition organisers or event coordinators.
- Professional introductions: Share your feature with publishers, galleries, creative organisations or anyone interested in discovering more about your work.
For emerging creatives, it provides an opportunity to introduce themselves and their work to new readers. For established professionals, it offers a fresh perspective on their careers and achievements.
Most importantly, it allows your story to be presented in a thoughtful, readable and professional way.
You do not need to be famous, have an enormous following or have achieved commercial success to be considered. You simply need a creative story to tell.
Would You Like to Be Featured?
We are always interested in discovering creative individuals with experiences, ideas and work worth sharing.
Whether you are an experienced professional or someone taking the first steps along a creative path, we would love to hear about what you do and why you do it.
If you would like to be considered for an editorial feature, please get in touch and introduce yourself.

A Place to Explore, Discover and Be Inspired
Our Arts Magazine is for anyone with an interest in creativity.
You do not need to be an artist to enjoy discovering how a painting came into existence, what inspired a photograph or why an author chose to tell a particular story.
Perhaps you are looking for new artists to follow, interesting work to explore or inspiration for your own projects. You might simply enjoy reading about people whose experiences and perspectives are different from your own.
Whatever brings you here, we hope you will find something that captures your interest.
We also hope our features encourage readers to look beyond familiar names and discover creative people they might never otherwise encounter.
There is an extraordinary amount of talent in the world, much of it quietly developing away from the attention of major galleries, publishers and established institutions.
We would like to help bring some of those stories into the light.
Introducing Our Arts Network
A New Creative Community, Opening Soon
Alongside Our Arts Magazine, we are developing something new.
Our Arts Network is our new companion website, opening soon, designed to give creative people a place of their own to write, share and connect.
While Our Arts Magazine concentrates on professionally written editorial features, artist profiles and creative stories, Our Arts Network will provide a more personal and interactive environment for its members.
The network is being developed for artists, photographers, authors, musicians and anyone with an interest in creativity who would like to share their thoughts, experiences, ideas and work with others.
A Place for Your Own Voice
Members will be able to contribute articles to the community and, through an application process, request their own personal blog within the network.
These blogs will offer space for members to write about their creative lives, discuss techniques, share discoveries, explore ideas or simply express themselves in their own way.
We want Our Arts Network to grow into a welcoming community where creative people can find one another, exchange experiences and enjoy being part of something larger than their individual websites or social media accounts.
Whether you enjoy writing about your artistic process, sharing photography experiences, discussing literature, exploring creative techniques or simply connecting with others who share your interests, we hope you will find a place within the network.
Two Websites, One Shared Passion
Although closely connected, Our Arts Magazine and Our Arts Network will each have their own purpose.
Our Arts Magazine is our editorial publication, where we create and publish features about creative individuals, introducing readers to their work and personal stories.
Our Arts Network will be our creative community, where members can contribute their own articles, develop personal blogs and connect with others.
Together, they will offer two different ways to celebrate creativity, discover new people and share experiences.
Our Arts Network is opening soon, and we look forward to welcoming our first members.
Our Philosophy
We believe creativity connects people.
It crosses generations, cultures, experiences and disciplines. It allows individuals to communicate ideas that might otherwise remain unspoken and gives us opportunities to understand the world through somebody else’s eyes.
Most importantly, creativity is deeply human.
Behind every photograph is someone who noticed something worth capturing. Behind every painting is a person who chose to interpret the world in their own way. Behind every book, song, sculpture or handmade creation is an individual with a story, an imagination and a reason for creating.
Those are the people we want you to meet.
Every Creative Journey Has a Story
Whether you are here to discover inspiring people or would like to share your own creative journey, you are welcome at Our Arts Magazine.
We invite you to explore our features, discover new talent and meet the individuals behind the creativity.
If you have a story to share, we would love to hear from you.
