The magazine industry may be suffering due to lack of ads and thousands of digital alternatives available today. But that isn't stopping bold minds from testing the waters anyway. Cred Magazine which is edited by young people for young people is all the talk in Philly these days and art and culture circles are slowly but surely taking notice.
The first issue, full-color and sleekly designed, showcases 105 submissions of art and poetry, in addition to news features on young emcees, bad tattoos and street ninjas, all by artists 25 or younger. CRED is the brainchild of the Village of Arts and Humanities, a North Philly-based nonprofit whose mission is to foster positive change by supporting artistic production in the community.
“We see so much art get generated here, whether by young people or by artists who work with young people,” says Aviva Kapust, CRED ’s editor-in-chief and programs director at the Village. “It gets created and then disappears.”
