SA Art Times set to grow in October from 16 to 64 pages
Sample cover of SA Art Times. Cover to be finalised for October
The SA Art Times is set to rapidly grow from a humble 16 page tabloid size paper to a comprehensive and influential 64 page South African Art Times magazine format in October.
The growth from tabloid to magazine format has been on the cards for a year now, the reason being is that there simply is so much going on in the SA Art world that it makes sense in finding ways of bringing more content, in addition to the daily online artnews, to the art reader each month.
“I am pleased with the growth of the SA Art Times”, says its editor Gabriel Clark-Brown, “it’s never been an issue of making profit as what we make always goes back to growth and creating art educational aspects for the publication. Our policy is always to support and showcase quality South African art and creativity, it’s the greatest natural assets we have. In addition it’s also about promoting all South African artists and artwork, in 10 years time who’s going to remember the values and the ideals, and beauty that we so strive for today, unless we are able to print these today, they will be lost and forgotten tomorrow”.
The SA Art Times magazine, South Africa’s most comprehensive and widely read exclusively visual arts community magazine, has an estimate of readership of over 15 000 readers per month, will be available, as usual for free, nationally from select outlets in the first week of October.
We
are proud to make September's SA Art Times and SA
Business Art available for free Online
