WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE MISSING?
We’re pleased to announce that RQ was named by Library Journal as a best new magazine the year we launched! Check out the full article here. Their top-ten picks also included the U.S. edition of London’s The Spectator, a Copenhagen-based Scandinavian art and architecture magazine, and a title that covers global female skateboarding culture. We’re delighted to have Philadelphia in the mix, and that we were featured with a profile in the Philadelphia Inquirer, who called us “ambitious” and “meticulously designed.”
We were also given a wonderful review on the Darkhorse Podcast by Heather Heying, who called us, “Exactly what we need right now… glorious,” and encouraged readers all around the country and world to subscribe and support our work. We were also just given a lovely review in the Write Now Philly blog, who noted that we were here, “to cultivate a community that challenges beliefs and opens new conversations. Each issue also features a creative theme tying together all selected pieces.”
To find out more about our origin story you can hear founder Heather Shayne Blakeslee on the Artblog Podcast, or read her interview with Mr. Magazine. Billy Penn also reported on RQ’s launch last spring. We want to give a giant THANK YOU to the wonderful group of people who celebrated with us. Enjoy the photos and video now.
