The Awakening Volume 6
Two curations, one magazine.
A flip-book style art publication showcasing two distinct collections of bold, boundary-pushing work from 74 artists across our community and beyond.
About the Magazine:
The Awakening is a community-driven art magazine committed to amplifying creative voices through print. Volume 6 is our most ambitious issue yet — a double-sided, flip-book style magazine, featuring two unique curations in one beautifully crafted volume.
This issue brings together painters, photographers, writers, and visual storytellers who each contribute to a shared vision: art that disrupts, heals, questions, and connects.
Giving Back to the Community:
We’re printing and giving away 200 free 6 x 9-inch copies of Volume 6 to spaces across Ventura County. We believe art should be in people’s hands, not just behind paywalls.
