Artists, Writers, Photographers, Musicians, Performers, Creatives … it’s probably our intense curiosity about life that drives us to move about on the planet. Our need to experience the revitalization of Self attracts the artist in us to the road or the rail or the skies. In a way, traveling is very similar to the creation process – both are taking a leap into the unknown.

Within our travels we find the discovery of a new place, a new language, a new taste, a new way of seeing, or find new work methods that will ultimately, profoundly affect our work.

ARTIST-AT-LARGE is here to inspire and encourage you to open the door and step out into an unknown world – to transform – even if it is only by experiencing your own neighborhood.

The site focuses on presenting great cultural travel writing and photography, bringing together travelers with cultural events such as exhibitions, festivals, and performances, and when we aren't traveling we share our everyday lives, studio work and musings, as well our cultural walkabouts around our homelands.

Why am I asking for your support?

While artist-at-large is mainly a labor of love, it wasn't meant to be that. Just as magazine publishers want to earn a living doing what they do, I would love to be rewarded for the time and effort I put into this project. Because you enjoy or value the community, the writing, and the images on this site, it's a great idea to consider exchanging some of your energy for mine and supporting more work and the little things that help make life go around in the background.

The writing and photographs on artist-at-large are generated through your generosity and the links below!
