The <br />selection includes limited edition artist books & artist made products, <br />zines, comics, art books, and rare publications to the Triangle area. <br />The Concern publishes special project zines, as well as a yearly art <br />magazine by the same name featuring local artists & beyond on a <br />particular topic. The curated focus of the store is on North Carolina <br />artists, marginalized artists, art in general, current ev ents, the <br />env ironment & mind expansion. Predominantly acting as an e- <br />commerce business, The Concern has an office-showroom at Attic <br />506, amongst art studios & exhibition space in Chapel Hill (for the <br />past 2 years) and a small selection at Lump Gallery in Raleigh (for the <br />past 3 years). The Concern has contributed a cultural outlet to the <br />Triangle area that was missing & which was my intention in starting <br />the project/ business. At the time when I started it, there were no <br />specific locations for purchasing artist-made books or zines, <br />specifically too not, by local artists in Orange County, nor in the <br />Triangle area. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: D0B7E45D-3548-4D6B-BFDD-65F8890DCA11
