The Online.
We're a multidisciplinary collective and independent publication
documenting the strange,beautiful,and ordinary parts of being alive.
Through photography, film, writing, design, music, zines, and whatever
medium feels right, we create work that will linger.
Our work lives somewhere between documentation and imagination.
We're drawn to the overlooked, the nostalgic, the experimental, and the
deeply personal.
Our collective exists to give emerging artists a place to experiment,
collaborate, and tell stories that might otherwise go unheard...
________________________________
For our inaugural issue, we’re looking for work that captures late-night feelings, nostalgia, intimacy, solitude, city lights, empty streets, bedroom ceilings, fleeting memories, dreams, youth, friendship, love, heartbreak, identity, and the beauty found in ordinary moments. We welcome pieces that feel raw, reflective, cinematic, or deeply personal.
3:17 A.M. is a zine about the hours between yesterday and tomorrow. It’s about memories that keep us awake, the conversations we replay, the friendships we thought would last forever, and the strange comfort of knowing we’re not the only ones staring at the ceiling in the dark.
Through photographs, journal entries, illustrations, fragments of stories, and found objects, it explores nostalgia, loneliness, growing older, and the quiet beauty of existing while the world sleeps. This is a love letter to sleepless nights, forgotten places, and the versions of ourselves that only seem to exist at 3:17 A.M.
We accept photography, illustrations, paintings, mixed media, film stills, graphic design, poetry, short fiction, personal essays, journal excerpts, comics, experimental work, and anything that doesn’t fit neatly into a category.
Show us what 3:17 A.M. feels like to you.
