Nostos is a weekly newsletter about the intersection of art and life, a place to share stories about how creative people think about their work and its relationship to everything else.

This is about building creative families. We’re living the cultural moment of the family, and we want to make it the moment of the cultural family.

We want to blur the boundaries between family and friends. Families can and should be safe harbors for wild creativity, little cultural laboratories where mistakes are encouraged and successes wildly celebrated. We want to expand the comfort zone of the family into the wide world beyond.

Many of us have kids and work in creative fields. We belong to a generation doing family differently, mixing work and play and letting our children see us as whole people, and seeing them as the same. All of us want to share what it feels like to share culture across our family and friends. Family grows by reaching outward.
