KTA Magazines Issues of 2023

by | Feb 24, 2023 | Magazine

Know Thy Art Magazine Issues of 2023 started with “The Pilot Issue,” because as sitcoms have taught us, every beginning should be a pilot. After that, every issue is based on a particular theme from the art, design or any creative sector. 2023 magazine themes specifically covered popular creative sectors. Since there is no shortage of design sectors, it is very likely that, most magazine Issues will continue to do a deep dive into art and design sectors in future releases. So sit on your favourite sofa, with your favourite drink and get your pdf copy from the selection below.
