About ARC Magazine:
ARC Magazine is a Caribbean Art and Culture non-profit magazine published out of St. Vincent and the Grenadines by visual artists Nadia Huggins and Holly Bynoe. ARC endeavors to form a creative platform offering insight into current creative industries practices, while bridging the gap between established and emerging artists. At ARC we want artists to negotiate their own space by offering a neutral ground that will license discourse and varied creative insights into the mind of an artist. ARC aims to offer a portal where independent, academic and social artistic groups share interests, practices and principles, while privileging the collective processes, while promoting the disruption of Borders; geographical, economic and symbolic. It is our ambition to stimulate sharing and creativity by providing an outlet for self-expression and uniqueness, while encouraging the sustenance of our intangible and tangible heritages while building a deeper understanding of the value and need for artists’ works. ARC Magazine is a bi-annual, independent visual arts magazine made possible by the support of its readers.
