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, released in 2012, did not have a logo, just a typeface. [2] The gallery R. & Co. Zesty and Evan 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. 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]
