The concept of the Festival Culture of Polish Magazines is based on the discussion between editors in chief of high print run magazines and low print run magazines dealing with cultural issues. The main topic of discussion are difficulties in various arts and functioning of low print run magazines in Poland.

A significant context of the debate is how new technologies and mass media affect culture and esthetical preferences of the recipients.
