this has just appeared on the SAC website... handy compact size with the "expert and passionate" team from the List mag. Surely just the thing to match the heavyweight art theorists!
NEW VISUAL ARTS MAGAZINE TO PROMOTE SCOTTISH TALENT AT HOME AND INTERNATIONALLY
02 April 2004
A new magazine to promote the strength and diversity of Scotland’s contemporary visual arts scene will soon appear on newsstands worldwide
Thanks to a three-year investment from the Scottish Arts Council, totalling £170,000, the publishers of Scotland's leading arts and entertainment magazine The List will launch a new visual arts magazine at the end of the summer.
Editorially independent, the magazine will be in a 'compact' format (similar to the women’s monthly Glamour magazine) and published four times a year. The first issue is expected in September.
I’m delighted that the expert, and passionate, team at The List are leading the way and I look forward to the first issue’.
Nick Barley, editor of The List, said: 'This is a highly ambitious project: we aim to match the standards of the best artists from Scotland in the pages of the magazine. In order to do this, it will run with its own dedicated editorial team. We aim to recruit an editor over the coming month, and we want to develop of a new breed of writers who can write clearly and perceptively about art.'
Priced £4.95, the magazine will be distributed throughout Scotland, and also in selected art bookshops all over the world. One issue per year will be distributed as a supplement to The List, and be made available at a substantial discount for a two-week period to others in Scotland outside The List's distribution area in the central belt.
In addition to the magazine, a further £30,000 will be allocated towards the launch of a new website, including news and arts listing for the whole of Scotland.
