Letter From the Editor

March 3, 2020

Arcade Project began as a concept for a print zine to showcase the talent of my creative peer group – always hustling and working on multiple projects. I believed that they deserved more exposure, so I made a decision to create a platform for visual artists, writers, philosophers, poets, critics, performers, flâneurs, collectors, and more. The print zine concept was put on hold when the decision was made to build an audience through an online presence before moving into print.

Over the four years, Arcade Project has been a site for discovery – featuring exhibition reviews, artist interviews, art fair highlights, film criticism, the occasional thought piece, and some philosophy with a touch of humor. We built and sponsored the Spicy Curtains lounge at Satellite Art Show – Miami. We curated a solo exhibition of Elizabeth Axtman’s Dark Meat at Satellite Art Show - Austin and Eva Mueller’s Twisted Twins at Satellite Art Fair- Brooklyn. The new Curatorial section offers a look at these projects and some available works. We are working on a few upcoming exhibitions for 2020. I will be presenting a paper with our Senior Editor, Roman Kalinovski at the Posthuman Symposium at NYU in May.

The site has been mostly self-funded following an initial fundraising drive and a few very generous donations. In order to sustain operations, we have created space for advertising. We are looking forward to announcing your upcoming exhibitions and providing links to your art spaces and other relevant businesses and events.

We are back at Armory Week in 2020, celebrating our fourth anniversary with the launch of our new site. Look out for art fair coverage and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Thank you for your ongoing support.
