On October 1, we debuted the Art21 Magazine, the result of a major redesign and rethinking of the Art21 Blog. Available exclusively online, the Art21 Magazine publishes six times per year and each issue is devoted to a single theme.
Continuing the theme "Becoming an Artist", in November we published an interview with house ballroom photographer Gerard H. Gaskin; a survey of children's responses to the question "What does it take to become an artist?"; a roundup of smARTpower videos selected by Art21's associate curator Wesley Miller; and the first feature in a new magazine project called "Postcards."
