Alta Journal Issue 21: Made in California celebrates makers, creators, and their crafts. We tell the stories of the artisans behind amazing whiskies and watches, incredible grains and guitar strings, exquisite stationery and sandals, and many others. Their products are beautiful, functional, sometimes even edible, and all were made in the Golden State. Alta Journal is a quarterly publication for anyone seeking an insider's take on California and the West. From arts and culture, to technology and the environment, to food and fashion-what happens in this most-forward thinking region happens everywhere. Each large-format issue (the West demands a wide lens) demystifies the region with provocative essays, cultural commentary, deeply reported investigations, original fiction and poetry, sumptuous photos, topical cartoons, and more. Founded in 2017 by William R. Hearst III, Alta Journal provides an exciting-and much-needed-literary perspective on the West, sparking conversations that are as diverse and vibrant as the place itself. In this era of rapid change, the award-winning Alta Journal offers an immersive reading experience like no other.
