about
The "let her sleep" magazine is dedicated to showcasing the talents of contemporary artists. This includes writers, photographers, and artists.
It will run for the Winter season and Spring season, giving the artists plenty of time to cultivate their submissions.
The name is inspired by the strange (yet oddly rewarding) sleep schedules of artists. It also brings into attention the way artists are overworked into falling out of love for their mediums— a serious issue!
"let her sleep" is currently looking for a small team of individuals who share this passion for the arts.
