Meniscus Magazine


It's time to record the deep caverns of a culture.
Artists and thinkers need a place to
collect, collaborate, and distribute.


Meniscus Magazine is an online art forum where artists can share their positive viewpoint of the world. With so much bad news in the mainstream media, people need a place to read about the integrity of life. Meniscus is that hub of goodness—a nucleus of positivity where we can not only feel good about life as it is, but imagine evolution through revolution.

Published quarterly, Meniscus is always looking for artists and thinkers to contribute. If you have something to show or tell about the good life, let us know!

In short, we are all here to save the world. The choice is whether you accept that challenge or not. Now at the tip of the millennium, our earth is being attacked by the human nature of its inhabitants. But things are changing; people are becoming aware.

Meniscus Magazine is a torch—a guide to read the way—to help lead others to the bliss that you’ve found. After all, a contact high is a wonderful thing, but being high is even better. Individual perspective broadens the collective. Meniscus is like a convex lens that will take a precision beam of thought and disperse it to many places and angles, shedding light on many hidden corners of culture.

Why Meniscus?
A meniscus in scientific terms is “the surface tension on a column of liquid.” Just as gravity can pierce the surface tension of a liquid, we can break through the surface tension of life.

By tapping into the emerging spiritual counterculture, this online magazine is a conduit for free-flowing creativity powered by all the best things in life: music, art, design, photography, and word.

Pouring through wisdom from every angle, our job is to collect the brightest minds alive and spread the word. It’s time to see solutions come about from the free thinkers of our day.

Our AUDIENCE is anyone who chooses the brighter side of life. We cater to the intelligent explorer, who knows as well as we do, that life should be a celebration, and not a lament. We cater to those who seek excitement, change, happiness and the purest things that life has to offer.

Meniscus is the experience of awareness.

Q: When did Meniscus Magazine start?

At that point, the idea reached saturation and began to crystallize into reality. Ten months later in August 2003, the premier issue was released with an opening at the Zeitgeist gallery in Cambridge, MA where the music of Clemmy’s Guttata, Silent Treatment, and DJ Reazon drove the night.
