What does BEEFMASTER mean?
Beef is one of the principle meats in American dining, and is often seen as the “main course” or central part of the meal. As one of the worlds leading consumers of BEEF, we found our name to be a fitting commentary on consumption and sustenance, and we really want you to eat more art. We at BEEFMASTER see our monthly exhibitions as the main course, feeding you the GRADE A choice cuts to fill your ravenous hunger. BEEFMASTER.
Why do you have Volumes and Issues?
The Volume and Issue format started back in 2004 when BEEFMASTER was an online art magazine. As BEEFMASTER has grown, we continue to maintain our interest in publishing, and our goal of developing a yearly printed publication. Our Volume and Issue labeling is our way of paying homage to our humble beginnings, and to keep track of monthly releases for future projects.
