Welcome to ARM

When we launched American Riviera Media in the spring of 2020, our goal was simple: elevate radical beauty and thoughtful connection. Through earnest storytelling and curated programming, we focused a lens on our Central Coast hometown - where gentle seasons and salmon-hued sunsets continued to inspire during a roaring pandemic.

When the world began to open up again, we did too, expanding our coverage across California and eventually fanning out toward the east coast. There were so many through lines, so many stories that held us all together.

And this year, our passion for discovery has lead us into the ancient cities of Europe, where art and food seem to be dissolving borders with inspirational ease. Reporting from the Gracia neighborhood of Barcelona, we are delighted to continue our cultural edits from a global perspective, and through a decidedly American lens. Thank you for being here.
