What is The Work of Art?

The Work of Art is a quarterly literary and visual arts publication produced by Bee the Change Foundation. Each issue is organized around a single theme and features original work from emerging artists — poetry, fiction, essay, painting, sculpture, illustration, photography, and more.

We believe art is essential to community and social change. This publication exists to give artists a platform, readers a window into new voices, and the foundation a way to live its mission on the page.
