about

52nd City Media is a cooperative venture of area artists and writers dedicated to developing, incubating and releasing diverse and experimental works of interest created by local talent. When we launched this magazine, St. Louis was the 52nd City in population. Things change. We like that.

52nd City Magazine is a quarterly publication devoted to a particular topic (examples: Work, Faith, Drink, Stuff, etc.). Each quarter, a new online version of the magazine is published to supplement the print edition. The content of the print and online versions do not overlap. So make sure you pick up a print edition.

We are not a non-profit entity...although our bank statements prove otherwise.
