Art of the Second Renaissance

Redefining Art
Shaping a New Paradigm

Support a New Artistic Era

Our crowdfunding campaign for the Second Renaissance Magazine is now closed — thank you to everyone who supported it.

This is more than a magazine, it's a cultural movement. Every issue gathers artists, writers, and performers who embody the Second Renaissance: art as oracle, art as ritual, art as a guide toward a new world.

Thanks to your support, the magazine is now launched — read it and discover the vision and work of the artists and contributors who brought it to life.

Vision of the Second Renaissance

"Art of the Second Renaissance is an art movement which aims to relate to and make art in a fundamentally different way and contribute through art to the emergence of a new paradigm - the paradigm of the Second Renaissance."

An audacious quest to redefine art-making practices and be a bridge between the dying past and the future unborn.

MAGAZINE

Our magazine is a yearly publication which aims to share with the world the artistic embodiment of transformation for a Second Renaissance. Our first issue is on the theme of Impermanence.

COLLECTIVE

The purpose of the collective is to make art at the service of the Second Renaissance. One key aspect in approaching art differently is to integrate the individual with the collective.
