Background
"ARC" stands for "Art. Recognition. Culture." The magazine is printed in Iceland by Oddi.[2] The magazine was founded in 2011 by Nadia Huggins and Holly Bynoe, both visual artists from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Bynoe earned her MFA in Advanced Photographic Studies from Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. The magazine has hosted art exhibited and, in 2013 and 2014, partnered with VOLTA NY to host artists discussions and exhibitions.[3] ARC Magazine has also partnered with the Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival.[4]
The magazine began as a quarterly publication with a modest print run of 500 in a large format of 12" H x 9" W.[5]
