DEDICATED TO SUPPORTING EARLY-CAREER, UNDER-REPRESENTED CREATIVES ACROSS THE ARTS

mates magazine is a non-profit publication led by and for early-career creatives. We engage and develop emerging talent through commissions, editorial development, and exhibition opportunities. 

The publication publishes an annual independent issue and accompanying group exhibition. Founded in 2024, the publication launched with its inaugural issue, mates supporting mates, featuring 50 early-career creatives across the arts. The issue explored notions of the body, gender and sexual identity, motherhood, and the need for community.
