It didn’t mean anything, not really, the word that is. “…culture of yours” was only said in passing by a friend. Foreshadowed, it’s been molded consistently by the people we’ve interacted with. What started as a night out amongst our favourite people, then grew and aged into a platform that focused equally on artist and art alike.
We wanted to create a place where the work was respected foremost, relationships were cultivated and when anything was published it was done so with deft hands and a smile. And that’s what you see now; a hub, hopefully a bookmark, that is almost formless.
We are the art gallery, nothing more. In the nicest possible way we showcase everything, every genre. You may not know what is coming but you’ll know its going to be great. So yes, within this site and in our books you will discover some of the greatest artists of this generation. You will be inspired and moved, directed and enamoured.
In time, years from now, after whatever COY grows into next, this will be an archive of the some of the most talented humans we found. A place full of beautiful ideas made by better people. What a wonderful thought that is.
