Press Release - Issue One : Welcome Home


New International Arts Magazine based in Milwaukee

Launch party Friday, November 19th
7:00 – 11:00
Studio Deep End

Milwaukee based artists and curators Cassandra Smith and Jessica Steeber are pleased to announce Fine Line Magazine, a follow up project to the now defunct Armoury Gallery, which closed in spring of 2009.  
Fine Line is a hybrid between the gallery and traditional magazines; free of all advertising, reviews, previews and biographies, Fine Line instead presents carefully curated thoughts and ideas.  The statement:

Fine Line Magazine exists simultaneously to explore contemporary art, support emerging artists and most importantly, to inspire a feeling that is uniquely human and self aware. It is a concrete, aesthetic expression of its creators, equal parts documentation and dialogue – a work of art in itself.
Fine Line presents only images and text – ideas without definition, questions without answers. It is curated for the viewer’s consideration and becomes a tangible guide to a thought, moment or expression. Somewhat like a deep breath, a pause in the daily go, Fine Line magazine creates a space to stop and consider the moments that make up our lives.
 The first issue, titled “Welcome Home” features the work of 14 artists spanning 7 states and 7 countries. It will be available to the public at a launch party to be held Friday, November 19th at Studio Deep End in Milwaukee’s 3rd Ward. A limited 500 copies of the first issue will be available for $10 each.
