Proximity is a contemporary art and culture magazine, based here in Chicago. It is by far the best local publication I have seen in the last nine months of living in this fine city; smooth full color features, mixed stock, insightful interviews and remarkably well-written articles, plus really unique sections including Portfolios, and Studios. Not to mention its the thickest magazine to call itself a magazine since Transworld Skateboarding!

Our mission is to amplify discourse on local and global art ecologies. We hope to serve as a map of artists, collectives and alternative spaces to commercial galleries, museums and universities as a means of connecting and cultivating sustainable creative communities.

Proximity is published by Public Media Institute a non-profit 501(c)(3).
