Congratulations to these incredible artists, and all those who courageously gave us their art to consider. A big thank you to our incredible judge, Chief Lady Bird, for her careful consideration and time in selecting these works. It is never easy to judge a contest, especially when the submissions are so excellent. We appreciate the time, effort, and love put into this selection by Chief Lady Bird, and everyone who’d taken the time to submit a piece of artwork. Keep an eye on our website for the list of winners, which will be coming your way next week.

ROOM 49.1 No Future for Who?

In Room Magazine 49.1 No Future for Who?, we are really asking. We are coming in hot. We are causing a scene. We are being unreasonable. We are not fucking around. We are not taking “no” for an answer. “No” is the only word we still know. For who? For who? No.
