Cadillac was purchased by General Motors in 1909 and laid the foundation for the modern mass production of automobiles by demonstrating the complete interchangeability of its precision parts, also establishing itself as America’s premier luxury car. Volkswagen was originally founded in 1937 by the German Labour Front. The Volkswagen Type 2 was the second automotive line introduced by German automaker Volkswagen. It was a panel van introduced in 1950. It is also unofficially known as a “microbus”, a “minibus” or “hippie van,” the latter due to its popularity with the 1960s/70s counterculture movement. As such it also became known as a “mind expanding van”.

BENNY GOLD independently owned keep on Pushing
“Everything started with just a simple sticker that I posted around town on a day off.

The idea for the sticker was inspired by the old mantra, "Stay Gold." To me, it's a reminder that all the ideas and experiences that we hold dear are the real gold inside each of us. This is what shapes us, what preserves our sense of self, and what keeps us young. When it came time for me to establish my own brand, I hadn't wavered from that concept, which is how the Benny Gold brand came to be.�

ARKITIP Arkitip’s beginnings were humble. While the magazine began with a 50 copy, hand stapled run in 1999, those first copies look more sophisticated than most other “zines� you might have considered in the same category. The covers were silk-screened on corrugated cardboard and the docutek used to replicate the black
& white art in the magazine rivaled the performance of most offset printers. It had a great homemade feel that was bona fide quality. Excellence in production is still of primary importance to Arkitip today. Artists contributing to the magazine respect this, as they know their art will not be compromised in any way.
Today, Arkitip is a hand numbered 4/color art book. The fact that the magazine publishes site specific work at a lower price point than what hangs on gallery walls makes it available to art collectors of all economic levels. Each issue is like an original piece of art in and of itself.

Project Space stays true to Arkitip’s founding principles: supporting the arts, promoting freedom of expression and making art affordable and accessible.
