What's the Most Creative City You've Ever Visited? Sometimes, a city grabs you by the collar, shakes you awake and makes you wonder why it took you so long to get there. Istanbul was exactly that for us. Imagine a city that effortlessly blends chaotic bazaars with minimalist design studios, and ancient architecture with street art so vibrant it practically shouts at you from the walls. Istanbul is a feast of contradictions, creatively exhilarating and endlessly inspiring. Admittedly, we might have hit it particularly lucky. On our Friday evening wander through Beyoğlu, it felt as if every gallery had simultaneously agreed to host an opening—complete with generous offerings of free wine. (Top travel tip: always pack a colourful scarf. Pop it on at a moment's notice, and you can glide effortlessly into any private view, blending seamlessly with the art crowd.) From the grand majesty of Hagia Sophia’s mosaics to the buzzing galleries and edgy boutiques of Karaköy, Istanbul pulses with a creativity that's hard to beat. But tell me, have you ever stumbled upon a city as creatively stimulating (and conveniently generous with wine) as Istanbul? https://lnkd.in/eGmqPQBv #CreativeTravel #CityCulture #DesignDestinations #Istanbul #FusedTravelEditions

Currently diving into Thurston Moore’s memoir and just reached the chapter where he reflects on the Colab Art Collective and the Times Square Show. It instantly reminded me of this great interview we featured with Jane Dickson in Fused Magazine a while back. Jane Dickson is an integral figure in New York City’s rich creative history, especially in the late 1970s and early ’80s. She played a key role in merging the worlds of downtown art, punk rock and hip hop through her work with the Colab collective, Fashion Moda gallery, and iconic exhibitions like the Real Estate Show and the Times Square Show. Such a great reflection on a transformative time in NYC’s art scene. https://lnkd.in/eGesTsdY #NYCArt #JaneDickson #ColabArt #TimesSquareShow #CreativeHistory #FusedMagazine

Mid-century modern meets contemporary art - our new favourite London hotspot has to be Bankside Hotel. We're always on the look out for those hotels that marry art and style with exquisite design. While some hotels offer up images on walls as an after thought or late addition, Bankside has integrated art commissions into its fabric, and we loved it! https://lnkd.in/e2GJA8EX
