LURCH 
(magazine)




LURCH is a Portland-based, community-driven magazine, now on ISSUE 05! Each issue presents a broad theme that creatives are encouraged to (loosely) follow and submit artwork, writing, photography, textiles, and more to be featured in the following issue. 

Founded in 2022 by Emma Wiseman and Anna Volk, LURCH has been growing steadily.
