After some basic market research and considerable legwork traveling the state, we learned that there are over 200 active commercial galleries, a dozen or more world class museums, and a vibrant artist community represented by a large number of art associations. Despite all this activity, there was no central source of information on the numerous exhibitions and receptions occurring every day.
The Art Guide owes its success to the community which has embraced it. That first issue was made possible by our charter advertisers, who told us that if we created the right publication to fill the void in the market, they would support it. Support it they have, with almost all of our original advertisers still advertising today, along with many, many others. Along the way, the feedback received from gallery owners and artists has led us to add features such as the Calendar of Receptions, Focus on the Artist, Profile of the Gallery, and Artist Showcase.
We hope that the positive feedback from the art community will continue as we expand the geographic scope of The Art Guide. We will introduce other regional editions as the newer ones become established. Art is everywhere and we plan to serve art communities wherever there is support for our publications.
