Cyprus
ARTERI (2007) covered the full creative spectrum from visual arts and design to literature, film, music and performance. Creative people in Cyprus, and Cypriots abroad, were invited to submit work – including art, poetry, short stories, articles and, as of Issue 3, also readers letters on any subject of interest or concern, arts related or other. The magazine offered a crucial outlet for expression free of editorial control and without the bias of the otherwise elitist arts scene. It was the first quarterly to be printed in all 3 of the of the island’s key languages, welcoming contributions from the islands Turkish-Cypriot and non-Cypriot communities and accepting submissions in any language from all artists irrespective of nationality, qualifications or social status.
