Tender Loving Empire functions as an independent arts production and promotion organization. We serve as a record label, a fine art and literature publishing house as well as a fashion cooperative. We represent driven, high caliber and culturally conscious authors, musicians, fine artists and designers who work to consistently expand the barriers of their chosen forum but have not necessarily gained a great amount of public exposure. Our goal is to give these artists the attention and exposure their art deserves.Our customers are those who have burned out on the products of mass culture and desire a more intimate and unique experience with the music, literature, fine art and fashion which they purchase and subsequently interact with on a daily basis.We believe that participating in the creative process and witnessing others do the same makes our world a nicer place.
