Tarantula: Authors and Art is a digital magazine where artists and writers meet to weave art with stories and conversations to nourish creative souls. Founded during the pandemic, when we were standing with one foot in the old world, and about to step into the post pandemic future, we realized that it was time to start reshaping our world. What would the world be like if we let art lead the way through our stories and histories? What if we tapped into the deep well of our creativity to find solutions for the problems we are facing? As the flicker of twilight passes over us, art can help us hold onto the light! Community sustains and empowers us, and so we invite artists with different backgrounds and careers to shape our stories as well as to inspire our readers to get in touch with their own creativity.
