SOTAC Interactive

We call it SOTAC i (SOTAC Interactive), a web-based publishing resource, which presents information from diverse indie art, style and cultural sources. SOTAC i is also the new home of SOTAC Magazine and with every online issue we deliver multimedia enhancements and links to related online content that help bring alive the experiences described on the pages of the online publication. SOTAC i is available to all registered online users who value the arts and have a desire to stay educated and enriched.
