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 and the creative expression of artists and makers. 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.
HERE COMES TROUBLE – OUR STORY
Trouble was born in 2004 in the central Victorian town of Newstead, beginning life as free street press and heralding the next tree-change movement of artists and creatives into the region. 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. The app was decommissioned in 2015. Our podcast, Deep Trouble, was launched in 2018.
