Not long ago, fame was something that only hugely talented artists could hope to achieve. Today, fame is often the only way to achieve anything. Whether a writer, photographer, painter, actor or musician; whether the goal is to get noticed, published, signed, booked, commissioned. or hired; an eight-figure following on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram is the new path to success. Our spring "Fame" issue examines the myriad ways in which the fame game has impacted the art world.

ART+DESIGN is a cultural distillery of established and emerging talent. Gritty and intelligent, locally attuned and worldly, ART+DESIGN offers an archival medium to lift local perspectives of New Orleans to an international audience.

What constitutes a good life? Chances are the more people you ask the more answers will vary. 
Most of us are just doing the best we can to get through it all without hurting anyone or being hurt. But is this possible? We are human after all.  So how do we master the art of living?
Humility might be a good place to start, not thinking less of yourself but less about yourself. 
With the turmoil and controversy in the world today creating divisions and hatred, is it time to examine our lives? Is it time to embark on a journey that will change who we are and how we see the world and people around us? All it takes are hearts that are willing to be changed.

To ART+DESIGN’s readership worldwide, no matter what your beliefs, my hope is that you have a joy-filled life. If we have provided you with something interesting, entertaining, or meaningful then in a small way maybe we’ve helped.

Dead presidents, clams, greenbacks, dinero whatever you choose to call it, MONEY makes the world turn...but should it?  

More than ever before, our culture revolves around money and all it offers. What if, instead of cash our legal tender was compassion? Would the world be as harsh if we fed our souls instead of our unquenchable desires? From time to time it is a good idea to do some self-examination on how we view money and how we use it. Are we just making it or are we making a difference with it?  As ART+DESIGN continues to spread around the globe we hope we are making a difference by providing some entertainment and a little respite from today’s dog eat dog money-driven world in which we live.

Love is more than just the expression of adoration. Put simply, it is our most powerful emotion, that driving force that has given humankind the courage to create and to wonder, to be good and to do good. But love isn’t simple, is it? Considering the many facets of love, the search to find it can take a lifetime. Join us to discover how love has shaped many of the stories, people, and experiences found in this issue of ART+DESIGN.

There are many combinations of personal and environmental variables that show the symbiotic relationship between ourselves and our environment - the personality of one cannot take shape without the other. Our physical, social, and mental well-being effects not only ourselves but the world in which we live.  In this issue, ART+DESIGN takes you on an armchair adventure as we explore stories about people, places, and things making an impact.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, grit in the context of behavior is defined as “firmness of character; indomitable spirit.”  If courage is the ability to rise to the challenge, then will is the determination to see it to the end. What does it take to make it in a world that doesn’t always care about you? Obviously, stick-to-itiveness is a trait of overachievers, so, in order to improve upon our lives, should the rest us invest more energy toward heightening our own levels of grit? Successful people are celebrated, and it’s hard not to aspire to reach their ranks. Ask yourself, though, how do you define success? Your definition may differ greatly from the variety of success society uses to separate the winners from the losers and the gritty from the listless. In this issue of Art+Design join us as we explore stories that tell of spirited people determined to make their mark on and in this world we live in.

In this issue of ART+DESIGN, we focus on something near and dear to everyone’s heart: the subject of “self.” Does our current society’s fondness of advertising how good we look and feel, in order to get an ego boost, echo the Greek myth of the beautiful but vain Narcissus? Trends expanding over the past decade, like the pressures put upon us by social media to be a “Special Snowflake,” the steady growth of the plastic surgery market, and the surfacing of a psychological version of the Adonis Complex (fittingly named “Dorian Gray syndrome”) have prompted psychologists to declare a worldwide “Narcissism Epidemic.” But what self-respecting narcissist would be humble enough to admit they have a problem without a little help. So read along as we reflect on the reflection in the mirror that so fascinates all of us, through the lens of art, design and experience.

In this issue, we explore the theme of "Destination" or "Destiny": Destiny is commonly believed to possess an element of human control that fate does not. We may be helpless against the inevitable trajectory of our fates, but our destinies can be molded by the choices we make. Desired destinies will vary, but our ideas about what light awaits us at the end of the tunnel are often the same. A beaming ball of greatness is in all of our futures, and we have the control to reach the golden ring we rightly deserve.

In This issue of ART+DESIGN, the relationship between human and machine is our exploration. Whether it's Elizabeth King's 'Pupil", an articulated self-portrait in the form of half-sized sculpture, or the essay on the subject by Laurie Fisher- this issue provides some insight into our obsession for machines.

Take a peek through the artistic lens of ART+DESIGN Magazine’s Fall 2015 issue as we explore the theme of “Control”

In the ART Section: THE SHAPE OF BEAUTY (Botanicals and body paint; a landscape of possibility). In the DESIGN Section: BEAUTY REPORT (ART+DESIGN and David Leslie Anthony’s seasonal, ethereal take on beauty).In the EXPERIENCE Section: BIG HAIR, DON’T CARE (The legendary Vinsantos grooms the next dynasty of queens).

The Winter 2015 issue of ART+DESIGN is themed "Bound." The cover feature is a photographic exploration of restraint and freedom by Chip Kennedy. "Tomorrow's Fashion in 3D" comes with a pair of 3D glasses (in the print version)

The Fall 2014 issue of ART+DESIGN focuses on Oddities. Our cover feature this fall, “Odd Holiday,” is our most ambitious yet—a descent into a world of luxurious, hyper-stylized Surrealism.

The Summer 2014 issue of ART+DESIGN focuses on Harmony + Discord. Join us as we meditate on discord and rant against harmony... Or is it the other way around? 

Featuring an art world smackdown between the independent artists and the galleries, a glimpse into New Orleans' chicest apartment, a juicy sampling of the city's best hot dogs, and three very different takes on New Orleans fashion, this issue is as hot as any good Southern summer.

Edgy and soft, harmonic and discordant.

The Spring 2014 issue of ART+DESIGN explores the relationship between art and academia: tastemakers, trendsetters, rule breakers. Can something as malleable as art ever really be put in a box? Roll up River Road for a glimpse of Louisiana's past, set amongst lush gardens at Houmas House. Explore the offerings of New Orleans' best artisanal eateries, or stop in for a review of the haute restaurant, Lilette. Discover what it means to be completely saturated by art, color and life.
