We are excited to share the inaugural issue of the Smartermax Magazine, a digital periodical aimed at everyone from the hard-working creative to the passionate art lover. More than just a newsletter, this resource is intended as a community hub, a place where artists, art-lovers, lifelong learners, and the many creatives of the ÀNI network can connect, celebrate, and grow together.
The magazine is the brainchild of Ava Ash-Waichulis (Editor), Anya Dribas (Creative Director), and Anthony Waichulis (Resident Tech Wrangler, usually tinkering with the gears behind the scenes). Their vision: a periodical that is equal parts community, resource, celebration, and conversation starter. Each issue is anchored by one of ÀNI’s Core Values—from community impact, integrity, and diversity to perseverance and compassion—values that shape not only how we teach but also how we connect, create, and contribute to the world around us.
Smartermarx Magazine accepts submissions of pitches, finished articles, research notes, artwork, tutorials, reviews, and letters in any language. You can send your submission here: Smartermax Mag Submission.
