Early on during the creation of GRØSS magazine, we began receiving (daily) young artist submissions through DMs and emails. Most were as simple as, “FEATURE ME, PLZ!” There was a clear lack of community and gallery representation for young, talented aspiring artists. This was a great space for us to fill, so, a few beers in the backyard and we decided to launch our second magazine: Relish — a localized magazine and gallery experience, one city at a time in an attempt to reestablish local artist communities. We filled a magazine with artists’ work and bios, gathered local sponsors, printed 2,000 copies of the magazine, and rented a space for the launch party where we featured all selected artists. Our first launch was in San Francisco — the gallery opening at The American Bookbinders Museum drew a huge crowd, requiring security and a 30-minute line based on capacity. There was only one small graffiti mark in the bathroom when we left.
