About The Great Discontent

We believe the untold stories of today’s artists and makers have the power to transform our culture and society. Since the beginning, The Great Discontent (TGD) has filled a unique void within the creative community, by creating space to candidly explore the challenges associated with creative journeys. The quality and the range of creative talent featured in the magazine has always been matched by a fierce commitment to design something beautiful—a magazine that looks and feels inspiring and evocative. TGD provides the perfect space for creatives to explore the stories that define them and their work. As we continue to evolve the magazine, we feel grounded in the work that made the magazine what it is, but we are also on a mission to ensure that TGD becomes a platform that authentically amplifies the voices of creatives whose identities, journeys, and contributions have been historically silenced or dismissed. This mission isn’t about empowerment—the power already exists in the creatives and communities we work with—this work is about amplification and creating connections for collaboration, extending understandings about accessibility and improving sustainability of the magazine & creativity in general. By working together with creatives who span spectrums of age, identity, culture and vocation we believe TGD can become a vehicle for the kind of wisdom, insight,and wonder that the world so desperately needs.Read their story
