The Dilettante is a home for creative work made from passion and curiosity: poetry, narratives, commentary, and visual art from artists of every background and experience level, with a particular tilt towards independent, interdisciplinary, and nontraditional voices. We seek out work that reflects on how experience, culture, upbringing, and intersectional identity inform creative expression.
