FAIRE has not been created in a big, glossy office block in a cosmopolitan city centre. Rather, our small, all-female team has mastered the art of working remotely, from our kitchen tables and bedrooms, straddling four different time zones as if we’ve been doing this all our lives.
During these months defined by limitations and isolation, our team has witnessed the incredible power of creativity, both in our magazine’s own story and in the stories of the creatives shared within these pages. It is our hope that our considered, intimate storytelling—free from the manipulation of algorithms or the temptation to appease major advertisers—will connect, educate, inspire, and uplift our readers around the world.
To our artists: Change is never comfortable, but I deeply admire each of you as you’ve stretched and found new ways to work, create, and collaborate during an unusually difficult season. Thank you for trusting us with your stories.
To our readers and Kickstarter supporters: Thank you for giving us this incredible opportunity to share these stories and shine a spotlight on the wonderful artists, makers, and craftspeople who fill our lives and world with beauty.
