About
ARTIST AS PUBLISHER
FREE AND EASY TO LOVE
Making Trouble is not an ordinary job, and we believe in the extraordinary product we produce. We believe in the passion and effect of our voice. We are independent and expert at building sustainable, vibrant and dynamic arts communities. We know that the best way to do that is to provide high quality and beautiful content that is FREE and easy to love.
ARTIST AS PUBLISHER
As artist publishers we publish independently to bypass mainstream media, and to curate and distribute arts content widely and on our own terms. We have embraced the disruption of global media digitalisation as it plays to our strengths in a market where audiences are increasingly drawn to small, high quality niche producers of original content, and online communities form around conversations that inspire and engage.
HERE COMES TROUBLE
Trouble was born in 2004 in the central Victorian town of Newstead, beginning life as free street press and heralding a strong tree-change movement of artists and creatives into rural areas. The street press magazine achieved National distribution in 2010, and by 2011 boasted a CAB audited circulation of 20,000 copies monthly.
In 2012 Trouble again moved early to adopt a digital distribution format with the successful launch of an iOS app, a new, responsive website, and a fresh approach to social media.

You can find Trouble online anytime here at troublemag.com or download our free app from the Appstore. We also publish on Issuu, Tumblr, YouTube and Vimeo, and maintain a strong social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
