Issue 20 marks 5 years of publishing with some major milestones along the way such as, Editor, Cherie Federico winning Young Business Entrepreneur of the year in 2006, securing editorial with the likes of Ken Loach, John Pilger, Rankin, Tony Harrison, and Benjamin Zephaniah, Aesthetica’s approach is fresh, accessible and up-to-date. It is the only British arts publication that views the arts as interdisciplinary.
Editor, Cherie Federico, says, “The past five years have been incredible. Aesthetica has gone from strength to strength. It’s one thing to have an idea, and five years later have a national arts magazine. It’s great feeling. We consistently gather innovative ideas and bring them together every two months. We’re not afraid to experiment and to support new and fresh talent.”
