Aint-Bad Issue no. 13 and Membership

Check out Aint-Bad Issue no. 13- It is BEAUTIFUL

Featuring the work of 31 artists curated by 14 well known international curators. 

Issue No.13 of Aint–Bad Magazine marks seven years for Aint–Bad as a running publication, a turning point for our small, independent publishing house. For this issue, we are revisiting a theme that is at the core of our values: Collaboration. 

This issue, for the second time, has called upon some of the strongest eyes in the industry in order to build relationships and bring awareness to a variety of causes. These fourteen individuals are trusted names in their fields and have lent their time, skill, and vision to curate a selection of the best contemporary photography being made today. Inside of this publication is a diverse group of artists who are making work in just about every way possible. We are honored to act as the vehicle for this process of jurying work from such an abundant call for entry and to be able to design a collection of images with artist statements and interviews, each one of them expressing extremely personal and often universal experiences, each project emanating passion for people, place, and planet.
