Local Optimist is a biannual publication for radical discovery and connection. Lead by the spirit of curiosity, we actively engage an evolving spectrum of artists, writers, and thinkers as a way of synthesizing perspectives that unify.
Local Optimist
In its third issue, Local Optimist explores the elements —both seen and unseen—that build the world in which we live. It highlights a group of contemporary thinkers and makers that have mastered an art: doers who have a discerning eye when it comes to the elements: revealing them, honoring them, and wielding their power. Featuring Max Lamb, Rahill Jamalifard, Cactus Store, Megan Sanchez, Aaron Elvis Jupin, For Scale, Bailey Hunter, Dreamin’ Man, Joshua Gordon, Aysia Stieb, and more.
