E T A J magazine, issue 1

Today, Romania has many extremely talented artists who work hard to create exceptional art. Yet, there is no medium that captures the true essence of the art scene in Romania. Because of that, many of those artists never get the spotlight they deserve in the artworld.

My name is Ioana Niculescu-Aron, and I am an artist and Editor-in-Chief of the E T A J magazine. Together with the founders of E T A J, we aim to publish the first art magazine run entirely by Romanian artists. Our purpose is to showcase the true art scene in Romania and give a platform to all artists who create high-quality art. As the first art magazine from Romania written by artists themselves, it will provide a richer and more personal understanding of the local contemporary art phenomenon.

To make this plan a reality, we need your help – and we are almost there! Content and design are ready, but we need an additional 2.000 EUR that will go towards printing and proofreading costs for the first 300 magazines. Click on the link in bio to donate.

Our first issue, E T A J 1 covers all main alternative art spaces in Romania. Art today is global and interconnected, so the following issues will be bilingual and will also cover international artists and art spaces.
