Level 4

About me:

Level 4 is a new magazine that seeks to promote arts and culture in and around Southend-on-Sea as the nexus for the different cultural threads that exist in our town and county. Southend and Essex as a whole have historically suffered from negative connotations in terms of their association with promoting culture, however, recent regeneration activities have led to the development of a fledgling, and rapidly expanding, arts scene. Our intention is to promote this surge of creative activity to the community in a way which is intelligent, thoughtful and encouraging and to overturn the prejudices and stereotypes that Essex has become unfairly coupled with.

Level 4 will be promoting all forms of art and of culture (high, low, pop, pub, sub, gay etc) that exist locally (and nationally) but is distinct from other current publications in terms of depth, tone, diversity and pitch. Level 4, in academic terms, indicates undergraduate engagement and beyond level of interest (contemplation).

Level 4 Distribution:

Level 4 is available free from various cafes, hairdressers, boutiques and bars around the Southend, Westcliff and Leigh areas. It is also available in both Waterstones in Southend, HMV, Zavvi and PMT. If you cannot find one, please ask the staff in these stores as they may just be out of stock, in which case they will contact us and we will make sure we get some more in as soon as we can!
