Rita Tinega - editor-in-chief of VisualMag - is a Lowell-based photographer, entrepreneur, and publisher. In July 2017 she launched the quarterly magazine in Lowell to provide a platform for creative spirits to tell stories through visuals.

Investing in VisualMag - whether through purchasing a copy or supporting its mission - is a political and artistic statement. As growing proof that people want substantive artistic media in their hands, the quarterly platform is proving again and again that people want to lift the veil on uncomfortable and fascinating topics with art as the hand.

VisualMag is more than the paper it’s printed on. It’s more than an avenue for advertisers. It’s more than a website with pictures and words - it’s a journey through what makes us human, through our struggles, successes, and realizations. It’s an illuminary force to shine light on what makes life worth living. It’s beauty, ugliness, and revelation. It’s you, and at once all of us.
