Our store will close on Dec. 31, which means magazines will no longer be available through our site. . Our website and social media channels will remain live, but we'll be eliminating our inventory of physical print copies. . After that, the only place to get issues will be on the used market (where our issues are selling for significantly more than their cover price, even ones that aren't yet out of print.) . Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing our favorite print stories from over the years. . If you're missing any issues for your collection – or you haven't had the chance to share our journeys with friends and family – don't delay.

If you live near Venice, California stop by @arcane.space to see CALIFORNIA SON; The Art of Matt Mahurin. • You might remember @mattmahurin from Issue 3: Topa Topa • Venice, California. Oct 25-Nov 18. Opening Reception: Oct 27, 6-8 pm CALIFORNIA SON; The Art of Matt Mahurin, is a visual journal of a 60 year journey from the nurturing nest of the west to the opportunistic feast of the east—and after three decades in New York as an illustrator, photographer, filmmaker, and writer, Mahurin's migration to California to be reborn as a middle-aged butterfly has packed @arcane.space with hundreds of images that merge medium, method, and message. #cqtopatopa
ON THE SITE: “At Home in Darien” by @ritakovtun (swipe for more) . With fewer than 1,900 residents, the township of Darien, Georgia is a quintessential outpost of the Deep South. . The coastal municipality sits just 50 miles beneath Savannah, off Highway 17—the caught-in-time thoroughfare Yankees used to travel along to get from New York to Florida. It's a road that has hosted humanity in all its forms, from grifters tricking tourists at clip joints disguised as fruit stands to farmers and fisherman making an honest living by selling produce and shrimp out of the backs of their trucks. . In the summer of 2017, multimedia storyteller RITA KOVTUN spent a week in McIntosh County photographing the people of Darien. She took a special interest in their homes—which often tell a story of their own when the inhabitants are absent. .

We have been fierce advocates of print, and we remain convinced that this medium we love so well is not only alive but resurgent. • Our print fixation has followed a natural progression from magazines to books, and that work will continue in the form of Charcoal Book Club (@charcoalbookclub), a curated monthly service that sends the world's best photography books to your doorstep. For more info, check out charcoalbookclub.com
We started CQ as a study of creativity, inviting artists to travel with us, immerse themselves in the culture, and make objects inspired by their experience. For us, the biggest flood of creative ideas has always come through travel—so it was a natural evolution that each issue would tackle one place and its people. • Over the past five years, we met Blackfeet Indians in Montana, mad-genius architects in Vermont, surfers in California, survivalists in North Carolina, lobster fisherwomen in Maine, fugitive desert men in the Mojave, and pugilistic conservationists in Georgia. We ate and drank with them, listened to music together in dusty saloons—and we shared their stories with you as best we knew how. • The Collective will remain live as a digital entity, with occasional posts to our site and main social media handle, @collectivequarterly. You can also keep up with us individually at @sethjputnam & @jesselenz. • Photo by @thealchemistress
Announcement: We've decided to shutter the print edition of The Collective Quarterly. • For five and a half years, we've tried to make the world a little smaller by parachuting into small communities around North America for days, weeks, and months at a time. We tackled one place per issue, and we gave voice to the struggles and triumphs of the people who live there. • Journalism about travel, food, art, and culture is often mistaken as frivolous. But at its best, it has the power to unlock doors, tear down walls, and introduce readers to human experiences they would not have otherwise encountered. The late Anthony Bourdain had many eloquent quotes on this subject, but here is one of them: "If I am an advocate for anything, it is to move: as far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes, or at least eat their food." • This is a bittersweet decision for us. The Collective will remain live as a digital entity, with occasional posts to our site and main social media handle, @collectivequarterly. However, this journey has evolved over the past five years, and we've decided that it's time to turn the page. • The print magazine would not have possible without support and interest from you, our readers. We've been on an amazing journey together; if you're in the mood to reminisce, please feel free to share your favorite memories with us. During the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing some of our favorite stories from over the years. • If your bookshelf is missing any issues, we encourage you to stock up at our store. Issue Ø and Issue 2 are already sold out, and we expect the rest to go quickly. Link in profile 👆
