ABOUT
GOOD TO MEET YOU
Founded in 2017 by Liz Publika, ARTpublika is an independent NYC-based platform. Our work focuses on the pragmatic side of art. From its application in tech and science to entertainment and city planning, we examine art's permeation in every aspect of our lives.
Each themed volume of ARTpublika Magazine examines a distinct topic through an artistic lens. To stay true to our indie roots and ensure our perspective remains free of outside influence, we keep our themes embargoed until the moment a volume is released.
Our blog is where we collaborate with professionals and creators to track the intersection of art and industry in real time. It serves as our space for ongoing dialogue and shorter-form insights that bridge the gap between our major volume releases.
Launched in 2023, The ARTpublika Shop is a direct extension of our journalism. Every piece of merch is inspired by the stories we share and the spirit of the magazine itself, specially designed by Liz Publika to bring a piece of that narrative into your daily life.
