Our Mission
Who We Are
From film to music to literature, the broad spectrum of artistic expression requires more than just passive consumption. Reverie is a collection of written and visual pieces aiming to cultivate meaningful arts and entertainment criticism. The writers of our magazine yearn to deconstruct and analyze how works of art reflect the human condition and breathe life into our culture. At the intersection of journalism and creative expression, we welcome commentary on existing art, along with original short fiction, interviews, poetry and visual works. As you read Reverie, we hope each page fosters a deeper love of art and enriches your appreciation of it moving forward.
