Welcome to the first issue of Bureau. We’re happy to see you here.

Born out of a love and deep respect for artists, makers, and everything in between, Bureau is a space where we explore creativity across disciplines—how it moves through people, places, and processes. Bureau exists because we believe creative work doesn’t happen in the dark. It happens in full view of the appreciation of culture, memory, chance encounters, and the things we gather along the way. 

For this launch issue, we’re thinking about objects. Every creative person has them– their tools, their talismans, the things they can’t create or live without. Some objects hold stories, some hold rituals, and some just need to go wherever we go. This issue is a small collection of stories about the creative life told through the things we touch. 

In each issue, we’ll explore a different theme, using it as a lens to examine how creativity moves through the world. We hope that Bureau becomes a space where creative people from different fields find unexpected connections and a bit of themselves in each other’s stories.
