It's a new year, and with 2017 behind us, it's time to live up to all of those resolutions we made on New Year's Eve. Typically, I'm not one for resolutions but this year I made one which I will carry out to all of my readers in 2018 and beyond. I am going to do whatever it takes to sustain VUE Magazine as the clear and authentic voice in modern luxury. Today, there are many who call themselves "luxury" yet they have no validity in this space. It's my goal that my team and I share with you, true luxury. As a resource on where to travel, dine out, play golf, shop and simply escape reality, VUE will vow to be your true voice of pure, uncut, unbiased, luxury. While we certainly plan on shaking things up this year, we are happy to announce our 2018 Art Issue. In this edition of VUE, we explore the finer points of creativity and luxury. We've sourced stories from artists both domestically and abroad to bring you the most fascinating and forward-thinking content yet. From diving underwater sculpture parks to understanding the methodology behind painting some of music's biggest icons, this issue is sure to provoke both thoughts and feelings. It's a new year, and I feel great about what's ahead! is year, VUE will change what you know about local publications and further break the mold that this industry has created. Stay tuned as we pave new roads, set future trends, and become an even greater leader in the publishing industry in 2018. Cheers! V U E N J . C O M 20
