Our History


Before transitioning into an Art magazine in 2020, it all started in 2014 as the I AM ART Campaign. A student campaign launched by ARTavius Veasey (Editor-in-chief) while in undergrad at Memphis College of Art. Frustrated by a fellow design professor, who he saw bully the dreams of aspiring artists that felt if the artwork of students didn’t look like a piece from Pablo Picasso or Leonardo De Vinci, it wasn’t worthy to being called or classified as ART. So the I AM ART Campaign was a direct response to the bullying to help empower the young art students that no matter what anyone says about your creative expression, as long as you believe in yourself and your craft, you can be whoever you want to be. ART isn’t defined by one medium or compared to any artist; ART is the complete freedom of expression that holds no judgement or bounds to any genre/form of artistry.
