Community comments about Juniper Rag…

"JUNIPER RAG is an outstanding offering for artists and audiences, both those in New England and farther afield. Its content and production quality are of the highest standards, and it affords serious artists a great new venue to showcase their work. I strongly encourage those that are eager for career advancement and new audiences to submit. Even the best exhibitions are temporary--but print is forever." — Juliet Feibel, Executive Director of ArtsWorcester

“When I received my copy of Juniper Rag Magazine I was blown away by how gorgeous, glossy and gratifying a visual art and lifestyle magazine could be. I really loved reading the inspirations and thought processes behind artists that I knew while discovering the amazing and diverse work from artists and designers that I was being introduced to. Whether you are a passionate creator of art, an art enthusiast or a collector--this publication is a beautiful way to see what is happening in art and design around you and around the world. — Rebecca McGee Tuck, Sculpture Artist , V.2

“JUNIPER RAG magazine is such a welcome addition to print media focusing on artists, designers and their practices. It exceeded my expectations in quality, layout and content and is a magazine that I will gladly include as a part of my portfolio and display as a staple on my coffee table. I was honored to be included in the inaugural issue welcoming the opportunity to have my work beautifully and permanently displayed in print. As an artist who is fortunate enough to show in many galleries, the paintings shown in Juniper Rag will be forever on display and always accessible to a new and much wider audience, including potential collectors. I paint for myself initially, but ultimately want others to enjoy what I have created and lose themselves in the work’s color, line and sense of place. JUNIPER RAG offers the unique opportunity to ever expand my reach and increase the opportunity to excite and engage the art loving public.”— Robin Reynolds, Artist, V.1

"In a time of absolute malaise and uncertainty in the arts, triggered by political dissension, foreboding Covid-19, and in the midst of profound social movements around the globe, an arts magazine emerges astoundingly with great promise. The premier issue of JUNIPER RAG, is a mind-boggling oasis, printed with the highest production values, profiling a vast range of arts and artists. A democratic indication that the art world is as vibrant as ever and thriving." — Stephen DiRado, Professor of Studio Arts at Clark University

“The emergence of JUNIPER RAG will fill a space in both the local and larger art worlds. It’s coming at a very appropriate time given the restrictions the Covid-19 pandemic has imposed on previously “live” receptions and exhibitions of the visual arts, events necessary for any artists to gain exposure and boost their already tenuous incomes. Michelle and Payal are the ideal founders to accomplish this task given their long experience in the printing industry and will to achieve success for artists as well as themselves, not to mention the entire community. Everyone benefits from exposure to the arts!” — Peter Wise, Artist, February 20, 2021
