#28 | Hop on the Mystical Magical Rhythmical Radical Ride with Jason Mraz

Cover art for Issue 12 of smART Magazine

Emerging out of the pandemic, we are faced with an epidemic of loneliness and isolation that perhaps was only exacerbated by the global lockdowns. The urgency with which we are in need of community, togetherness, teamwork, and an overall sense of belonging, is what smART Magazine’s ISSUE 12GETHERNESS responds to.

Intersections by Kelcy Timmons Chan. Issue 12 of smART Magazine

Aside from the long list of nourishment which art can bring to our daily lives, it is also uniquely capable of reminding us of a fundamental human truth: we’re all on the same team. That is what inspired this sports-themed issue. Begin your Issue 12 experience today with our cover artist, Jason Mraz, as he talks about his latest album at the interview below.
