The Art on the Town magazine is a full color magazine with images appearing directly next to gallery descriptions, a full map with a venue key, featured artist and curator of the month, artist opportunities, and local art news. This new format allows the magazine to be displayed after the Art Loop and encourages those who missed the event to visit venues throughout the month.
