The art magazine Art in America annually publishes a special issue called Art in America: Guide to galleries, museums and artists. The Beaverton City Library not only subscribes to the magazine Art In America but we also house this special issue in our Adult Reference collection. This way you can stop in any time to gather together all the information you may need to prepare for an exciting art filled excursion, even if you aren't venturing out of the Northwest.
This special issue contains some of the following special offerings:
- A Museum Preview 2009-2010. This preview is organized chronologically according to opening months. It highlights key shows, either current or upcoming, at major art institutions across the country, as well as selected exhibitions abroad.
- Guide. The guide is a comprehensive alphabetical listing, arranged by state and city, of U.S. galleries, private dealers, print dealers, corporate consultants, museums, nonprofit exhibition spaces, and university galleries. Also included are addresses, phone numbers, hours, names of directors, and a short description of the type of art shown and artists represented or exhibited.
