From Past to Present

Starting with its January 2019 edition, Str8-Up Magazine will be known as Gesso Magazine and will continue the very thing that it set out to accomplish: bringing art, music, and culture to the people of the local communities and providing an ideal platform for artists, poets, writers, and musicians and other creative persons to share and promote their work.
