Macon's newest arts and culture spark
a bold twice monthly print publication
Designed to get you the quick and dirty on what to do, see, and hear now. It’s the arts & culture zine we all need to put an end to the endless search on websites, listings, and all those social media platforms.
It features a 15-day calendar, critical art review, and Q&A with an artist for an upcoming event. Reading this short zine will guarantee you’ll get the cutting edge takes you’ve been waiting for. Be the inside source in the know, since you actually read about the artist before the show.
Expect to be challenged, ready, and more discerning with your precious time. Our editorial approach does the work for you, thanks to 40 years of trusted guidance from Macon Magazine.
This ain’t the visitor’s guide, but it is what you want to know now from your cooler, wiser cousin.
Check back for locations, but look for it around town starting September 25.
