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.
