informational & media guide
The art of being a hipster is to look like you know what you’re doing – even
when you’re faking it. Just do it with incredible style. That’s what makes you
a star…That…and l’étoile.

result is a richer publication with a vibrant creative pulse.
-Katherine Rochester, Walker Art Center
Museums are for the dead, l’étoile is for the living. And of course I want
to be in both.

If l’étoile and The Onion got married, their kids would be smoking hot, classy
and well designed…but not very politically correct.

l’étoile magazine has made the Twin Cities art scene accessible to everyone.
Before I started reading the magazine, I had no idea how much talent there
was around here. They (the l’étoile staff) always know what’s going on before
anyone else. I use their weekly emails to plan out my weekends.

l’étoile’s advertising base is a select group of products and services our readers
crave, from national names to local creators on the rise. Our advertisers strive
to tell their stories with the same attention and care with which we tell our
own. Presentation is everything! Advertisers can feel confident their business
will be well represented through thoughtful placement, high quality standards
and personal account management.
l’étoile’s all volunteer, diversely-talented staff brings immense amounts of
talent and passion to this project. To magnify these traits, we partner with a
number of art and cultural associations. We love celebrating and supporting
the community that nurtures us and we take pride in creating opportunities
that allow local talents to flourish. Whether in our magazine or at one of the
inspired (and inspiring!) events we sponsor, emerging stars have the chance
to shine.

for local style and culture and works each day to keep our reader’s trust and
respect. By supporting l’étoile, you help support the arts in your community
