New Visionary Magazine, Issue 14: The Manifestation Issue

We’re thrilled to announce that this is our first-ever themed issue, and the theme is Manifestation!

This special edition invites visual artists to explore and interpret the concept of manifestation through their own unique lens. As artists, you have the extraordinary ability to bring ideas, dreams, and intentions to life—turning a blank canvas, raw materials, or even a fleeting thought into something tangible, meaningful, and impactful.

Whether it’s about creating new identities, visualizing possibilities, mood boarding your wildest dreams, or transforming aspirations into reality, this issue celebrates the magic of aligning intention with action. From personal transformations to universal connections, we welcome diverse perspectives and interpretations for this special edition.

This issue will be curated by Marina Press Granger, founder of The Artist Advisory™ and an experienced curator who has dedicated her career to empowering artists. Her intention for this issue is to spotlight the power of creativity to shape not only artwork but also our lives and futures. Granger is the founder of The Artist Advisory™, a New York City consulting firm offering career guidance to visual artists, galleries, and art-minded businesses. With nearly 15 years of experience working in NYC galleries and museums, Granger curated numerous gallery exhibitions and art fair booths. In addition to her analytical business acumen, informed by a BA and MA in Art History, Granger incorporates the Principles of Classical Chinese Feng Shui to enhance the success of the artists and businesses she supports. Her work has been featured in Forbes, The Art Gorgeous, The Art Zealous, Time Out New York, and more. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Granger has lived in New York since 1991.
