History

Volume One was founded in 2002 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, by Nick Meyer and Dale Karls. The publication began as a small, black-and-white arts and culture magazine and later transitioned to a biweekly, full-color publication serving the Chippewa Valley region.[3][4]

In the early 2000s, Volume One expanded its presence online with the launch of VolumeOne.org, which developed into a digital platform featuring editorial content and a regional events calendar. Over time, the organization expanded beyond print publishing to include event production, video production, and retail operations, including The Local Store.[5]

Volume One marked its 20th anniversary in 2022 and has published hundreds of issues since its founding.[6]
