AMERICAN VULGARIA, a new art magazine

What is AMERICAN VULGARIA?

AMERICAN VULGARIA is an art, culture, and entertainment media network. We exist to defend artistic freedom against ideological corruption; to promote artistic gratitude, not censorship. Our approach to art and culture mirrors our commitment to free speech and expression: all ideas are open to entertainment — and we believe that an entertained idea does not equal an accepted one.

We are artists for art’s sake.

Why “VULGARIA”?

“Vulgar” stems from the Latin vulgus, which means “common person” and not simply “saying naughty things.” Our universal baseline is vulgar: rot and reproduction, digestion and excretion, bodily urges and subconscious impulses — these are the things that connect us, regardless of class lines or moral differences. The best art doesn’t evade our base vulgarity. It confronts and transmogrifies our vulgar baseline into something beautiful and enlightening; and under conditions of excess beauty and enlightenment, art reminds us of our inner murk and darkness.

Deep down, we are all Vulgaria, whether we like it or not.
