Origin Story

During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, the performing arts community faced unprecedented obstacles with canceled performances, unemployed artists, and isolated audiences. However, Artslandia Publishing, refusing to succumb to the circumstances, rose to the occasion and embraced the digital realm. In a remarkable display of innovation, they created an unforgettable and whimsical interactive magazine for San Francisco Ballet’s The Nutcracker, bringing joy to virtual audiences and reigniting the passion of all those involved.

This transformative project not only brought delight to viewers but also strengthened Artslandia Publishing’s determination to revitalize the arts community after the pandemic. It ignited a new dream, a vision to invest even more profoundly in the beauty and essence of the ballet world. Thus, En Face Magazine was conceived—a publication dedicated to celebrating and uplifting ballet not only on the West Coast but throughout the entire country.

 En Face Magazine proudly represents the most prestigious ballet companies in the nation through its collection of printed performing arts magazines. These publications serve as a medium for honoring the artistry, talent, and dedication of the dancers, choreographers, donors, supporters, and all those involved in the ballet community. Each magazine is a testament to the resilience and artistry of ballet, capturing the essence of performances and inspiring readers to join in the celebration.

 But En Face Magazine goes beyond the printed page. It has become a vibrant platform for conversations within a thriving community of dance enthusiasts through social media. By fostering dialogue and engagement, En Face Magazine creates a space where ballet lovers can connect, share their passion, and delve deeper into the world of ballet.

 Additionally, En Face Magazine produces dynamic and original online content that explores the various captivating aspects of the ballet world. From insightful articles to behind-the-scenes features, this content provides readers with a comprehensive and immersive experience, inviting them to explore and appreciate ballet in all its beauty.

En Face Magazine is more than a publication—it is a testament to the enduring power of ballet and its ability to captivate, inspire, and uplift. By championing the art form and shedding light on the remarkable talent within the ballet community, En Face Magazine aims to contribute to the renaissance of the performing arts and to inspire a new generation of ballet enthusiasts.
