A Brief History of Creates

Creates Magazine began life as ‘Wye Valley Creates Magazine’, an art magazine that was distributed around the Wye Valley area, in October 2016. After much local success, Kenny John, the founder of the magazine, teamed up with Michelle Gordon, to go national and the first issue of Creates Magazine, that was distributed to over 300 galleries around the UK, was published in April 2018. The magazine now features editorials on artists, features exhibitions and art fairs, and is helping artists and makers to increase their visibility within the art world.
