Aint–Bad issue No.15 represents some big things for our small company. 2020 was a year of unprecedented events, challenges, and outcomes. The world as we know it has changed, and so has Aint–Bad. 2021 marks ten years for Aint–Bad as an independent publisher. In ten years we have had the honor of working with thousands of artists from all over the world. We have produced fifteen magazines of various shapes, formats, and themes. We have published over thirty artist monographs for some of the most talented photographers in the fine art world. For those of you who have stuck by us since the beginning, we owe you endless thanks. To those who are new to Aint–Bad, welcome, and we hope you enjoy what this small publishing house has to offer.

2021 is a new year and a new opportunity to continue to change for the better. We are excited to expand our vision beyond photography and to begin focusing on other forms of contemporary art from artists based all over the world. While also providing opportunities to artists and resources for marginalized communities. Borrowing ideas from previous issues of the magazine, we are excited to have brought on six incredible curators to help make the selections for this year’s publication. Inside these pages, you will find some of the best contemporary art being made today. The names of these artists should be remembered, as they will soon be leading the conversation on contemporary art through their respective practices.

Note: Due to limited availability, we cannot accommodate requests for specific covers. You are welcome to state a cover preference in the NOTES section when placing your order, however, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the cover that you requested. Thank you for understanding.
