Current Issue
The first issue of 2020 draws its inspiration from photography and illustration. The editorial theme is one of partnership. Applied Arts columnists delve into the relationship between artists and creative directors. What qualities to look for in a potential partner. What red flags to be aware of. And ultimately, what steps to take if you are the artist looking to form a new partnership. Our cover story, Under Pressure, examines the changing dynamics of agencies since the extinction of the art buyer and the mounting pressures creative directors face while trying to find the ideal creative vendor.
