Midnight Muse

Magazine

was an Art & Literary Zine

created by Neebinnaukzhik Southall and Sarah Zecchini in 2012.

Our purpose was 3 fold

1

build & extend a platform for showcasing underground art from local artists, and artists who didn’t otherwise know how to share their work.

2

foster creative collaborations among artists of different mediums.

3

it was a priority to make the zine FREE & AD FREE to truly show off the work of our contributors.

MMM was a resounding success - more than we anticipated, and far more than we were able to keep up with.

We published 7 issues featuring artists of all kinds and even hosted 2 Launch Parties - for the release of Issue 3 and Issue 6. We had live drawing, a photo-booth, belly dancing, live music, live painting, and a collaborative mural that was donated to a local art store for display. We held art shows at local galleries for participating artists in several issues. We partnered with local organizations to raise money for their cause, and gave them and out artists a creative bulletin board section in every issue to showcase their own upcoming events, gallery receptions, and much more. We also were very lucky to garner the support of our community, who gave us glowing write-ups in local newspapers and spread the word of MMM through posters, social media and their counter and wall space.

As MMM grew, and as life carved a separate path for us both, Neebin and I decided to bring the success, excitement and vibrant color that was Midnight Muse to a close. It’s an experience I look back on very fondly and so many of the people I met through this publication are in my life to this day.
