Pictured: An “Up-Cycled” Fashion Creation by “DARCY FOWKES“ — Winner of ZO’s Touch of Blue Expo in Fashion. Each year ZO orchestrates a Creative Expo, and submissions come in from all over the world. These connections become a part of our growing ZO Creative Community, and we continue to promote, highlight, and work with the Creatives we meet. We hope to expand our supportive ARTIST-TO-ARTIST network in many ways, and believe these connections and "creativity can change the world" . . .

We invite all creatives to submit ART, PHOTOGRAPHY & POETRY to this year’s unique O.D.D. Room EXPO — connected to ZO’s Film.

We are in love with how complementary the ART from our Blue Expo fits with Catie and Bonnie Jarvis’ written Letters as they weave through their relationship and Marcel Proust’s book "In Search of Lost Time," the longest novel ever written.

These Art Submissions are Timeless and "Stunning" paired with this writing . . .

Pictured: ZO interviewed "SAY SHE SHE" several years ago. They’re still going strong! https://zomagazine.com/say-she-she-interview/

As we glide through our 10th Year of Publishing, ZO has a LOT OF PEOPLE TO THANK! At the top of that list is one of our Music Editors, Kendra Beltran, who put us on the map with her consistent excellent Music articles.

We keep interviews of active artists on our pages as our creative community continues to grow. ZO is “building relationships” with artists in all disciplines to make our mission of “Peace through Art” a reality. ZO’s connections come from direct contacts, professional artist interactions, and through our annual creative Expos.

The O.D.D. ROOM (ZO’s current Expo and Game) https://zomagazine.com/oddexpo/ is linked to 13 Micro Episodes which are part of our developing film. We hope to expand this Other Dimensional Discussion to include real-life conversations and sharing about what Life is really about . . .

I. Dear Sister,

JOURNEY TOGETHER IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME

This is the first of 12 Articles by CATIE JARVIS & BONNIE JARVIS exploring the writings of Marcel Proust.

"Swann's Way is the first of seven volumes that make up Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time, the longest novel ever written. When my sister and I took to reading it, we lived in different worlds and hardly knew about the others'. Proust helped us weave our sisterhood back together and to make sense of the ways our pasts, presents, and futures flow in an ever-evolving dance.

This series is a compilation of 12 autobiographical-fiction letters between two sisters, inspired by the reading of Swann’s Way (which is also considered to be a semi-autobiographical work). Each letter is illustrated and illuminated by artwork from ZO’s Blue Expo, blending the visual and the linguistic, to open the mind. I hope you'll journey with us, reflect on your lives and quests, and expand your hearts and awareness through art and through time." — Catie Jarvis

ZO has reviewed over 2,347 artists over the 10 years we've been publishing . . . like life, relationships develop over time and we get closer to artists that keep in touch. We always support artists, but its hard to stay updated on so many with our small team.

Recently Anja Kotar let us know that she's releasing a new single "Louvre" on 2/19. Coincidentally, we found a song by Anja "Timekeeper's Secret" that perfectly fit our O.D.D. Room Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3OQtBiv3PKyXJ1Xop2Pyok
