Artwrit Shifts Focus
On December 31, 2012, Artwrit will publish its last monthly issue before interrupting regular publication. Beginning in 2013, after having released thirty editions and issues, Artwrit.com will be reformatted into a searchable archive comprising hundreds of articles that documented the project’s unique voice in the art community.
Over the past three years, Artwrit has advanced its commitment to excellence in art writing through the publication of a quarterly and monthly online journal and Oral History Initiative, providing a forum where various forms of art writing—academic criticism, cultural-inquiry and editorial styles—existed inclusively.
Artwrit will continue to carry out its mission through the publication of printed editions of art writing. The first edition, slated for production in 2013, will feature highlights from the first three years of Artwrit’s online publication, providing a record of its achievement during a time of rapid change and self-reflection for arts writing.
