/mæn-ʌs/ Chicago Art Zine Issue 1 Available!

Exciting stuff, as the first issue of /mæn-ʌs/ Chicago Art Zine has been printed and is now available for purchase in the website SHOP. Turned out pretty well, with a lot of cool content. Check Tom Billings’ print; a Nelson Algren Quote; Carl Sandburg’s poem, FREE THE MAN IN THE BEAN!, Eric Stefanski paintings, and a whole lot more. 32 pages.

Next issue is slated for January 2026 (is it really another year soon?) and then every three months thereafter, so remember, if you’re a Chicago artist or have a demonstrated connection to the City and its surrounding areas, send us your artwork, art criticism, art history, poetry, or any other art-related creation, along with a short bio, to menasgallerychicago@gmail.com.

If you’re an artist, art dealer, or art collector and would like to be featured, please request the short question list to respond to. Or just make up your own.

Please understand that not all submissions will be used and/or responded to. In addition, as this is a photocopied zine, please send work that is simple and high contrast, in order to appear at its best.

We appreciate your consideration and request that you spread this news far and wide.

P.S. Only 100 copies available!
