New art magazine

The library now has copies of the new art magazine 'Art World'. Published bi-monthly.

Art World say they focus on recent work by a broad selection of both emerging and established artists practising across all disciplines. It includes news, previews and inside information, but also – importantly – provides an opportunity for artists, curators and gallerists to speak directly to everyone who’s fascinated by contemporary art.

The latest copy includes an intriging look at the life and art of George Musgrave.
