Moist Beaver

Moist Beaver... you may be thinking I'm on a new porn craze lately, Last post with the pixel porn and now Moist Beaver? But let me put you at ease I am not going through puberty again.

Here is a little blurb on what Moist Beaver really is.
Taken from their website

Moist Beaver magazine is a production featuring new aspiring artists and art culture in Toronto and surrounding areas: functioning as a method of publicity, and giving these artists a place to be projected into the public eye and be discussed. The world of art feeds off itself and there is a need for a place to publicly view and analyze art and the contemporary issues that artists and young up and coming adults are addressing today. This magazines goal is exactly that; we have a fun youthful flare and we approach the issues concerning the young adult population.

There are very few platforms for visual artists in Canada to connect, and to gain exposure. In our overly structured society, which revolves around money and connections, artist tend to find it hard to make a name for themselves, despite whether they are talented or not. This magazines function is 3 fold:

1. A platform for artists to view other work of their contemporaries, gain insight and advice from others, and get ideas for their own practice, as well as broaden their horizons about mediums techniques and opportunities that exist in the artistic world for young artists.

2. A place for artists to gain exposure, exhibit talent and make connections. As well as a place for artists (and commercial photographers, writers, etc) to showcase their talent, add to their resume and expand their knowledge.

3. A way for people to address and read about current issues, connect with the culture in the emerging youth of Canada, and a place for people to voice opinions, and ideas about society, change, and our physical world.
