THE QUARTERLY | Summer 2023 Issue & Exhibit

The QUARTERLY is a contemporary art publication and exhibition by Dabster Arts Inc. Since 2011, the organization has focused on displaying and documenting contemporary art and artists. The QUARTERLY is an in-depth quarterly art project that features individuals with unique stories and their distinctive artwork. The Summer 2023 issue will create a contemporary visual diary of cultural commentary from individual experiences and perspectives on all topics, from political to pop culture and everything in between. Every issue's concept or artistic theme is determined by the artists and their submissions.

Artists selected for The QUARTERLY will be featured in both the publication and a 3-month online exclusive exhibition. In the publication, artists will receive either a feature (1-3 pages with write-up and selected images) or a full article (3-6 pages with write-up, interview, and full pictorial spread). Featured artists receive a gratis copy of the issue. The QUARTERLY Summer 2023 Issue will be available for sale on Amazon, Blurb, the organization's website, and gallery locations, with distribution reaching 15,000 subscribers. The Spring 2023 Issue will be sent to LACMA's Balch Art Research Library and MFAH's Hirsch Library for catalog and collection.

The exhibition will be listed on the organization's website and ARTSY sales platform. A virtual opening reception will feature a panel discussion moderated by the Dab Art Co. Director, with participating artists and viewers encouraged to post questions and comments. The online exclusive exhibition provides exposure to an international audience with no additional expenses for artists. ARTSY receives 2.2 million unique visitors monthly from 130+ countries.
