About Us

Painappuru Magazine was founded in 2024 by a group of students at Pratt Institute. As a New York based magazine, we saw the need to give young artists a platform to showcase and promote their artwork. Whether it’s visual arts, literature, or performance arts, we aim to highlight all forms of creative expression, offering our audience a fresh perspective through young artists.
