What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists? NOMAD is a new magazine set to debut in January 2009 that will feature writers, poets, photographers, artists, and designers from the area. Erica Eichelkraut, a freelance photographer, created NOMAD and is bringing it to the public. Since Eichelkraut is a part of the Buffalo Indie Market, it wasn’t long before a collaboration was brewing.
Eichelkraut and the Buffalo Indie Market are teaming up to make a reversible publication. One side will feature NOMAD and the various artists of Buffalo while the other side will be a 2009 calendar/artist directory of the 2009 market season for the Buffalo Indie Market. 20,000 copies of this free magazine will be published and placed all around Buffalo where they hope to have the most impact, exposing both the artists of NOMAD and the artists of the Buffalo Indie Market.
NOMAD is still accepting submissions, so if you want to be featured, you better hurry before time runs out. NOMAD is also running a website where additional work will be featured, adding an interactive component to the print version of their magazine. They are also currently looking for advertisers and you can find out more about that at their website. The Buffalo Indie Market features 20 to 30 local artists at their monthly gatherings on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the Pearl Street Grill and Brewery every second Sunday of the month from 12 until 5 PM. Visit their website for more information.
Buffalo Rising
Sometimes the authors at Buffalo Rising work on collaborative efforts in order to cover various events and stories. These posts can not be attributed to one single author, as it is a combined effort. Often times a formation of a post gets started by one writer and passed along to one or more writers before completion. At times there are author attributions at the end of one of these posts. Other times, “Buffalo Rising” is simply offered up as the creator of the article. In either case, the writing is original to Buffalo Rising.
