Torn Magazine Needs You!!

Torn Magazine is an Arts and Culture Magazine, encompassing a variety of art forms and artists. Our aim is to bring people together and give them a space to showcase their art, share their views, and discover new art. We don’t care whether you are a professional artist, whether art is a weekend hobby, or anything in between. Our belief is that art can be found anywhere and everywhere- our job is just to find it!

The name of the magazine, Torn, comes from our interpretation that art is an imperfect endeavour. That is what makes it so exciting, creative and surprising.

The magazine has a northern twist, as all of the Torn founders originate from Manchester. However, we’ve showcased artists from all over the country and even a few from outside the UK. As some of our team members have moved away from home, we’ve also branched out to encompass more of the UK.

The magazine is separated into four segments;

‘YOUR ART’

We love all kinds of art- whether you take photographs, sketch, write poems, or finger paint,-  we are more than interested to feature you in our ‘Your Art’ section

‘REVIEWS’

Equally, if you have an opinion on something, want to write a review, or just need to rant- our ‘Review’ section is the perfect place. Just e-mail us with your ideas first to confirm the subject hasn’t been taken. You can check out the other issues for examples.

‘WHAT’S ON’

If you are hosting an event or want to tell us about events in your area- we can also advertise these in our last ‘Events’ page

Finally, we are searching for front cover submissions and pieces for our debate section if you fancy an argument!

To tie together all of these elements, artists and art forms- we usually have a broad theme. Previous themes have included ‘New Year’, ‘Change’ and ‘The World’. It’s always fascinating to see how different types of artists take the theme and what interpretation or spin they add to it.

Remember, as British artist Eric Gill once said, “The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist”
