History

Cultured was launched in 2011 by Sarah Harrelson, who launched the Home and Design section of the Miami Herald and then served as editor-in-chief of Ocean Drive and Art Basel Magazine. [1] Cultured's first issue was released in 2012. [2] The gallery R. & Company became the magazine's first advertiser. The annual publication frequency went from two, to four, to finally five issues per year. [3]

In 2013, the magazine launched Cultured Commissions, an editorial concept where an artist is commissioned to make a small limited-edition collection to be exclusively showcased by Cultured. Rafael Cardenas, the Haas Brothers, Matthew Day Jackson, Dana Barnes and Agustina Woodgate, [4] were among the artists commissioned. [1]

From 2021 to 2023, Cultured's total revenue increased by 106%, a growth mainly driven by the magazine's sponsored events. [2] In July 2023, the magazine co-organized the celebration of Givenchy's new location on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. [5] [6]

Description

The magazine covers fashion, interior design, film and art. It has been described as a "sourcebook for contemporary art and design buffs" [1] illustrated with "unique, nontraditional photography". [2]

Every year, the magazine releases a "CULT 100" list of the 100 people who define culture. [7] Notable magazine covers included The Grimes cover (Spring 2019), Chance the Rapper by Theaster Gates, Jane Fonda by Jenny Holzer, and Shygirl by Jeremy O. Harris. The magazine also publishes a standalone broadsheet issue sponsored by Balenciaga and dedicated to Art Basel. [2]
