Amelias Magazine launches Kickstarter Campaign

Amelia’s Magazine is 10 years old!

Amelia’s Magazine celebrates 10 years of supporting creativity in the arts with a one off limited edition collectible artists’ book and an exclusive series of A2 limited edition art prints with real gold leaf. 

Amelia’s Magazine has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise £12,000 to cover the costs of printing, paper, payment to artists, packaging and shipping. The campaign rewards for pledges include rare back issues, books, hand screen printed t-shirts, postcards and of course the limited edition book and art prints.

The artworks and writing for the book have been found through an open brief on the Amelia’s Magazine website, allowing artists from all over the world to submit work on the theme of That Which We Do Not Understand. The brief was inspired by the personal experience of two late miscarriages, and will explore the many ways in which humans seek to understand the things that they don’t understand in their lives. The brief closes on 10th November and so far there have been nearly 200 submissions. 

Amelia’s Magazine has long championed new artists and this book will bring contributors’ work to a large audience. Better still, artists will receive 50% of profits from sales of the fine art prints, which will be made in editions of 10.

The book and prints will be launched with a party and exhibition at Tatty Devine's shop on Brick Lane in December and thereafter any remaining artworks will be for sale with premier print destination East End Prints. A few copies of the book will be available online and in a few prestigious bookshops, including the Tate, but most will be sold through the Kickstarter campaign.

Editor and publisher Amelia Gregory is available for interviews and we have stunning examples of the artworks, including stunning animated gifs designed to show how the gold leaf layers will look on the art prints. Some of the featured artists are also available for interview!
