Founded in Wichita, KS
in the summer of 2009, we're a group engaged in creative distribution of the
arts. We are responsible for an independent, community funded print publication
called Fractions Journal. The journal features visual artists, writers, musicians,
film makers, craftspeople, culinary artists, and all those involved in creative
pursuits.
It presents
work from individuals, local to international, amateur to professional. Whether
your passion is painting, designing clothes, typography, or assembling 1:64 scale models
of yourself - we want to share it. It provides a chance to get others
interested in the things that intrigue you. It's a publication aimed at
engaging the senses and providing access to the work happening in the community
and beyond.

// Andrew Bales is working toward his MFA in creative writing at WSU. He
spends his free time reading short stories, writing his own, and seeking out
eccentric bands to admire. His honorary titles include, but are not limited to:
proficient juggler, multi-instrumentalist, Spanish conversationalist (for those
with patience), ping-pong amateur, and fledgling pool shark.
// Matthew Miller holds a BFA in Graphic Design from Wichita
State University
and has studied Art and Architecture at Richmond
University in London,
and across Europe (other people take
vacations). A voracious reader, compulsive list-maker, and generally organized
chap, he appreciates a well designed typeface, mid-century modern design, and
has been known on occasion to make a book or two by hand. If you invite him
over for a dinner party, please be prepared to provide a fine dark beer or ale,
paired with Asian inspired vegetarian cuisine, and a competitive game of
trivial pursuit.
// Andrew Stephens is a graphic designer by day, freelancer and painter by night. A lifelong
Wichitan, he holds a BFA in graphic design from Wichita State University. He
spends much of his free time seeking out new music, taking on too many
projects, and making an occasional grilled pizza.
