Collage magazine - Alexandria Welch

Nucleus resident artist Alexandria Welch has been busy launching a new magazine - Collage magazine.
Collage is an on-line magazine and blog-site for women interested in art, politics, culture, and society.

"Our aim is to create a forum of dialogue and interaction between a range of female artists and art lovers who express themselves through their work by addressing the issues which concern them, whether this is on a national/international, social/philosophical, contemporary or historical level. We want to make our discussions fun, challenging, artistic and poetic. Behind the project are writers and artists working in collaboration with the same vital concerns who are hoping that this little project will become a big success. Our aim is to please everyone but of course, we are bound not to."
