LOST ART: The Independent Art and Culture Magazine for Curious Minds
Reclaiming Meaning in a Noisy World
LOST ART isn’t just another art and culture magazine—it’s a rebellion against bland, click-driven content. Based in the United Kingdom, this fiercely independent platform uncovers the beautiful, bizarre, and often overlooked corners of our cultural landscape. Formerly known as LONDNR, we began life online in 2015 and have since grown into a print magazine, live event series, and trusted voice for thoughtful cultural commentary.
If you're tired of trend-chasing headlines and content with the shelf life of a tweet, LOST ART is the antidote.
What Makes Us Different?
We’re not here to flatter the algorithm. Our stories are handpicked, human-made, and deeply considered. Whether we’re reflecting on forgotten traditions, unearthing a marginal artist’s backstory, or making sense of a chaotic world with good old-fashioned common sense, every piece has one thing in common: it’s meant to last.
Unlike mainstream media, our cultural magazine dares to think slowly and deeply. There are no viral stunts, no buzzwords—just writing that respects your intelligence and rewards your attention.
London-Based, Globally Minded
As an art magazine in London, our home is one of the most dynamic cultural capitals in the world—but our perspective travels far beyond the M25. We celebrate thinkers and creators from every corner, covering everything from underground performance art to philosophical essays, from indie publishing to the politics of pleasure.
Our readers are the kind of people who ask “why?” more often than “what’s trending?” If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
A Magazine That Thinks—and Parties
LOST ART isn’t just about what’s on the page. Our growing events programme brings the spirit of the magazine into real life—through lectures, art nights, cultural salons, and the occasional party that goes late. These aren’t stale networking sessions or panel discussions with bullet-point agendas. They’re gatherings of curious, creative people who want to connect, question, and celebrate.
It’s culture without the cringe. And yes, the wine is always good.
For the Independents, the Thinkers, the Romantics
As an independent magazine in London, we answer to no one but our readers. That means we get to pursue ideas that matter to us—however strange, subtle, or subversive. And it means we can publish work that hasn’t been rinsed through a focus group or SEO tool.
We cover what we call the “lost arts”—not just embroidery or etching (though we love those too), but the art of patience, the art of disagreement, the art of really listening. If you’ve ever felt like something human has gone missing from modern life, you’ll find it here.
