Wonderroot announces Loose Change Magazine
WonderRoot will launch the first issue of their new literary magazine on July 10 at Arizona Pub.
Like Jessica Blankenship's recent cover feature noted, WonderRoot has put itself at the center of Atlanta's emerging grassroots arts movement, regularly hosting bands, visual arts, and workshops of all sorts. Despite all that interdisciplinary collaboration, though, they've had little hand in Atlanta's burgeoning literary scene.
Loose Change Magazine, the latest project to bubble up from WonderRoot's laboratory of mad-art-scientists, intends to change that. The literary magazine will be published quarterly and "strives to display an array of artistic voices through written and visual work."
Their mission includes fostering young writers through the magazine as well as workshops at community center, "We function as a platform for well-crafted storytelling and innovative explorations of language and form. We are committed to facilitating aesthetic growth and community spirit by directly engaging our submitters through learning opportunities."
No word yet on what contributors will be involved, but the first issue will be released during a launch party at Arizona Pub on July 10. You can keep up with more developments as they come at Loose Change's Facebook and website.
