Kolaj Magazine Year One Collector’s Pack

Collector-Pack-Year-One

In its first year, Kolaj explored collage’s role in the world of contemporary art; asked the question “Is this collage?”; informed readers about collage exhibitions and events; and, most importantly, shined a spotlight on the work of collage artists from around the world.
