>ABOUT 4N
Stemming from the creative platform of Special Special, 4N is a biannual
magazine showcasing extraordinary foreign talent in America. We recognize
the challenges faced by foreigners in obtaining sufficient credentials to
demonstrate their value for staying in the United States, and 4N acts as a
platform for those artists to present their work in the company of other
talented creatives. Our goal for 4N is to create a community-based publication
that honors and highlights the exciting work and personalities involved.
