The Late Fee Magazine platform is an ode to the Artist of Color. It is a space where artists of color are supported, celebrated, and showcased. Therefore, we curate issues based on specific themes such as “Freedom” and “Purpose”. Each issue is open for submission for all artists of color who take their art seriously, regardless of skill level.

To be clear, while I (Steven Jermaine Jones) am a photographer and writer by nature, that does not mean that this magazine is only focused on that. We cater to painters, authors, sculptors, etc. Whatever the art, you have a space for it here. Our goal is to create spaces — and by "spaces" I mean this website, printed magazines, events, and many more.

WHY THE NAME “LATE FEE”?

Because this is long overdue. Our magazine platform is a “ticket” or “bill” for all the years of neglect, closed doors, and broken dreams due to a system which catered to the majority and neglected the minority.

This website is the late fee, and guess what? Payment is overdue.
