The Vision Magazine is a vibrant, youth-led, print-first publication dedicated to documenting and celebrating the voices of Detroit’s emerging artists. Our mission is to amplify bold, grassroots creativity that too often goes unseen and undervalued. This includes genre-bending musicians, powerful poets, self-taught painters, and DIY culture-makers—many under 30—who navigate the art world without traditional support or platforms.

Each quarter, we will publish 1,000 full-color copies filled with original art, in-depth interviews, poetry, opinion essays, photo narratives, and cultural commentary—all created by and for young Detroiters. But this magazine is much more than a collection of pages. It’s a launchpad for creative careers, a vital community-building tool, and a living public archive of local brilliance and resilience.

To bring this vision to life, we host collaborative workshops that center co-creation, mentorship, and skill-sharing. These sessions help artists refine their storytelling, develop editorial and design skills, and build trust with one another—forming a dynamic creative community. Complementing the print edition, we integrate digital elements via QR codes that unlock curated playlists, audio stories, and behind-the-scenes footage, seamlessly blending analog charm with digital engagement.

At its core, The Vision Magazine believes that stories are infrastructure. Our publication captures a creative renaissance already in motion, empowering young artists to see their worth, claim their voice, and actively shape the cultural legacy of Detroit. By providing space, resources, and support, we nurture a generation of artists who will not only transform their own futures but also the future of their city’s cultural landscape.
