WHO WE ARE

LEFT BANK MEDIA

New York-based brand rooted in content and community

Left Bank Media is a New York-based media company with strong international ties. The parent company to Left Bank Magazine, Chez Nous Guide, and Chez Nous Studio, Left Bank Media surfaces the work of artists, creatives, and entrepreneurs on an international scale.

Inspired by the 1920’s Left Bank in Paris, where Picasso, Hemingway, and Gertrude Stein would create and collaborate, Left Bank Media has made—and continues to make—a global impact within the intersection of content and community. We initially began as a small, Brooklyn blog—Left Bank Magazine—in 2014, before establishing an LLC in 2018 and expanding into the company you know and love today. Across Left Bank Media, our brands work hard to drive equity and representation across industries, unite artists and entrepreneurs, and empower our community to achieve creative and professional fulfillment.

LEFT BANK MAGAZINE

International culture magazine focusing on music, art, film, and words

Left Bank Magazine is an international print and digital publication that covers independent and primarily undiscovered artists. We take curation seriously—searching the globe for the best emerging talent across music, art, film, and literature.

Left Bank reaches its international audience across the website, YouTube channel—which was the platform for the 2020 5-day virtual music festival Left Bank Live (featured in The Guardian, Audiofemme, and Popdust)—and social media.

CHEZ NOUS GUIDE

Online directory and travel guide featuring people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ owned businesses and organizations around the world.

Established in June 2020 during the resurgence of Black Lives Matter and the increase in small business support during the Covid-19 pandemic, Chez Nous Guide (French for our home) is a volunteer-run inclusive and intersectional directory for businesses, artists, and organizations owned and run by historically-marginalized people and their allies. The site is dedicated to amplifying voices that have been—and continue to be—silenced by society.
