Plaster Magazine

Plaster is the art magazine designed to be enjoyable and easy to digest. Established in 2020, Plaster began as a printed poster magazine, with each issue focused on one individual artist. In 2023, we expanded by introducing our digital platform and special print editions, exploring contemporary visual art and the intriguing, quirky world that comes with it. Our magazine addresses the need for quality journalism and storytelling in the art world. We pride ourselves on our honest and humorous approach, showcasing unique personalities and a striking visual style, blending satire with sincerity in just the right measure.
